Well done with her dress and arms/bone structure... the only thing that isn't quite as accurate is her face... it's still pretty, just different.

thank you so much. I'm glad you like it. I spent most of the time on the dress. I almost had to redo it too. If you look closely at her right arm you can tell that it has been cut out and replaced. I had a pen tip break off and leak ink all over her arm. And well I didn't want to redo the whole dress again, so I cut it out in hopes of being able to fix it. I think I did a good job. I ended up reworking the dress more after that in hopes of pulling the eye aways from the mistake. Once again thanks, and good luck in the contest.

I really love the work on her dress, its really perfect. Personally I would have liked more contrast with the hair and skin, but maybe thats just me. n_n Looks really good.

angelhitsground In reply to Rocket-Friday [2008-02-10 05:53:18 +0000 UTC]

thank you, I really like how the dress came out too, as for the contrast, I hear you, it looked alot better before I sprayed it with a protective coating. It really made the dress rich and made the skin and hair shinny. I don't know lesson learned don't use new products on things that are important.
