Description Just...don't ask. At this point, I would be scared to tell you how I came up with something like this. I can tell you one thing, though, it was a blast to make!

We had a bit of discussion on this piece as you were making it around the house, but I felt I might be able to take more time to consider it here.

I still think this piece is beautiful and eerie - the way you did her eyes makes her look unsettling to me. Everything seems to fit together in the picture so nothing appears as though you painted it to fit in Photoshop.

As far as critiques go, I like the change you made to the mouth I suggested before (extending the middle gill). However, I'm thinking they could've been curved a little...like a gill-smile or gill-frown. It might've made it look a little more contoured to the face - though it still looks good as it stands.

My next suggestion is more of a personal preference than a critique, but you could've added some lighter shades to her hair on the light side of the picture. It's bright enough over there that you could've added some lighter strands and given her hair more depth.

Overall, I think this one's one of my favorite pieces by you. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Thanks for taking the time to put some more thought into this. I think you're right about the mouth. It's not quite as contoured as I could have made it. It's too straight. You're also right about the hair, but I'm terrible with hair. LOL

Whoa, creepy! Her eyes are especially wicked. Anytime someone's mouth is FUBAR like that (sewed shut, etc) I freak out. What's going on with the hair? Is that twigs intertwined? Awesome job!

Thank you! Yeah, they're a bunch of twigs and branches in her hair. It doesn't stand out as well as I'd like on that background.

She still creeps the Hell out of me, but that's awesome! I love the branches in her hair and her eyes. The... mouthish thing is probably what creeps me out the most, hehe.

I like to think of the mouth as gills. Don't ask how she eats. It involves suction cups on her hands and liquification of your innards. Thanks!
