Description
This was a gift for another Gaia guild friend. It is her original character who is called Absinthe.I have no idea of what to write here. It was fun though! And I'd love any constructive critism, I'm trying to get better at this near-realism thing..

oh, and the angle makes his hips look funny, like the left hip is missing...

Yes the head is small, but perhaps he is not human at all? so who really cares? itΒ΄s truly beautiful!

Beautiful; it's fantasy but the face is unique and real. I really like the texture of the skin and the non over-accentuated abs. The darkest areas of the image are the most attractive to me, the eye sockets, underarms and the belly button. xD
I also like the soft indentations on the stomach. Like whitechaos mentioned, it's all subtle which makes it very natural to me.

He's really beautiful, and his expression is just wonderful.

It's kind of nice to see a head that might be too small, because so many artists (me included) tend to make the head to big. I read in one anatomy book that if you take the head and turn it sideways, 2 heads like that should equal the width of the shoulders. And that only really stands out on the small preview version.
Your shading is beautiful on the skin, especially the fine line outlining the chin, and the dark part of his shoulder/arm. That mouth is really good too; nice and full yet not feminine, excellent job with that. When I look at the pendant, it almost seems like it's floating off the chest, rather than resting on it. Maybe it's because the chest isn't as defined there, or because there is no drop shadow...I'm not really sure. The chain looks really good, especially how it glides over the collar bones, it just get's a little weird at the pendant part.
Wonderful wonderful anatomy. You subtly rendered a very convincing (and hot!) male figure.

I can't believe I forgot the shadow from the pendant..
I usually make the head too big as well. I guess I was going for heroic roman proportions, and ended up overdoing it.. And thanks for the comment on the mouth, I wasn't sure if I made it too pink and feminine.
Thank you, Chaos! These comments mean a lot to me!

Nice body work
My only crit would be that the head's a bit small.
