Description An entry for a friend's contest at Gaia, Suicidal Rage. This was my first proper painting after I left for Vietnam, meaning the first CG in 5 months! It was a lot of fun to paint, and I'm actually really happy with how it turned out. I would love any comments on this!

And thank you to kedralynn for letting me use her photograph as reference, she has a very inspirational gallery, I'd recommend everyone to go and have a look.

Beautiful! The cooler skintones match the overall mood of the picture. I like how you used the blue tones to make the deeper shades. Again - excellent shading on the face. The eye =
The white hair is nice, I especially love those little "stray" hairs at her forehead.
The only thing that could have used a little bit more definition are the ear and the flowers. But ears are so hard, I know that from my own experience.

I might continue working on this, I think more should be done to her ear and flowers like you pointed out, and the hair and background.
Thank you very much for the comment!

Your skin shading IS brilliant. Awesome painting, methinks.

This is, as all your other stuff, absolutely divine. If anything, I might like to see a little more detail in the flowers, and maybe a little texture on the horn.
I will have to see about commissioning you some time...

You are right, I will fix that if I decide to work more on this.. I just enjoy painting the face so much I tend to neglect everything else. But thank you!
