In the patriarchal ancient Greek society characterized by male dominance, with the exception of Sparta, the role and status devoted to women were minimal, compared to [the role and status of] men. This is based on the fact that from Hercules to Alexander the Great, men from ancient Greece are well known today, but there are no such great names among the female characters. Why so?
According to the famous Greek dramatist Menander (342-291B.C.), the ancient Greek woman was not expected to have an education. From him, was this quote: “Teaching a woman to read and write? What a terrible thing to do! [It’s] like feeding a vile snake on more poison.” In fact, Menander’s thought itself proceeded from the general philosopher’s view in that period. Another: “Athenian philosophers, except Plato, held that women had a very poor mind but a strong emotional realm. They could harm themselves and other people, therefore they should be protected from themselves and, if it’s possible, incapacitated. That’s why each woman had her own guardian – usually he was a father, brother, husband or other relative of her.”
So, the Athenian woman was viewed as inferior to man, and confined to the boundary of a home, under the protection of her father, or her husband.
In such conditions, it was not a surprise if they were not famous in literature, politics, philosophy, and other hot topics in their time. In all those topics, they were barely existent. They had very few rights in the society, and were subdued to men. In this case, the very only roles they played in that society were the ones in social life.

Figure-
I pretty well believe her figure! Her hips and her ribs look fantastic, while her arms and legs are posed in a non-distracting yet silhouette enhancing way (but her ribs might come down too far, or her torso is too short, as the belly button seems high- there should probably be 2x the space between it and the ribs- I try to imagine her with muscle tone, and I just don't think there's enough space for them). The size of the breasts of any model is really a matter of preference (and I like them), but what I will critique is that the top edge of each breast probably could benefit from sloping down and connecting below the collar bone a little better. They currently seem to connect at her shoulder/neck. Again, not a size problem, just a minor anatomy/shape problem I feel is there. And as for her nipples, they're "ok"- they're there, and nothing special, but I think the areola need to have some sort of transition- maybe if they had a little more bumpy-ness around the edges, and gradually faded instead of looking a little like circles placed on top of her breasts.
Her hands are well done, but the left hand (her right) has an odd shape to the palm- it seems fat on the underside/backside of it, while the fingers might be a bit short. It's the only thing that majorly jumps out at me in this image.
Her face is perfect- I didn't even need to analyze it. If a face requires analysis, it means something doesn't "feel" right, since we look at faces all our life. This one feels natural and normal! Her head, though, is a little tall- I feel like the distance from her forehead to the peak of her hair should be only 2/3 what is is now.
Color, Shading-
I absolutely love her skin tones! Everything "feels" right. She has higher white peaks, deeper pink shadows, and some reflected oranges (though, at points, I think the orange is too much, like on her hip- it's a very dark area, yet there's a lighter orange there, it just feels odd). Her green pants look excellent, and her hair has great tones too! It also appears that her hair has been died at the ends, and I'm glad you didn't just draw an arbitrary line where the hair color changes, but had a natural transition!
Details, Composition-
The flow here is pretty decent- I'm instantly drawn to her face and breasts, due to the high peaks. I wander down her belly, notice her interesting pants (nicely detailed, too). Then I follow the trail of items on her bed, her socks, her music player. Then I see her hair, hand with bands, and shirt. It's a nice little trail, and I don't get too distracted by her items because they have softer shading and contours for the most part. The spread she is laying on and the tile/concrete under it went almost completely unnoticed by me (which is a good thing for the background to do when we want to focus on the subject), but when I do focus on it, I really believe they are made out of woven cloth and stone.
All in all, it has a few minor problems, but I really love both the character and the image as a whole!

I like the revisions! I think the changes you made really help bring this image to where it should be! There's always something to be tweaked, but I've found that you should do an image, get a solid bit of feedback, revise it, then move on to practice your new skills on the next one- otherwise, you'll infinitely revise the same image, for years (it has happened).
Great work!

The Good: I really love the color palette. The composition is nice and the face is beautifully done.
The Bad: Black areas need a little more work in shading and the panties look a bit flat.
The Ugly:
-Breasts: breasts do not start from the clavicle and if you draw them that large with the nipple so high up (intending for them to be perky) do not put the cut (where the breast is not attached so deep). In this position, the underside of the breast should be visible, otherwise the way you rendered it seems like her fore-breast has broken off and is slowly escaping. If you keep that disconnect there the nipple must be moved closer to her elbow.
As it is now, if she stood up her left breast would be normal and her right breast would be flopping about holding onto her sternum and her collarbone.
- Background arm There is something odd going on with her left arm. It is either entirely way too short or being bent at the elbow. If her arm is bent at the elbow(using my own body as reference) her shoulder would be shrugged which would in turn also affect her head and she would probably not be able to stretch her neck like that. the elbow would also be visible behind her back.
-the back In the world of eshergirls this would be the snake girl, where the body is rendered to form an S at the expense of anatomy. Just to make sure I tried to do this pose and biology 101 was right, you can not bend your back at a 90 degree angle. Right now she looks balance but re imagine her if her legs where not bend, but straight instead. Yeah, she would probably look like someone snapped her back in two.
Vision: It is a simple pin up shot and doesn't really reflect any sort of theme/POV/or idea. It simply an instance render bare breasts.
Originality: 1 star because upon further inspection in your gallery, she seems to be an OC of yours but in the end this is a painting of a reoccurring and unoriginal subject, scene and pose.
Technique: Obvious mastery in your medium. The painting and tones are gorgeous.
Impact: To someone looking for titillation this would be quite impactful. For everyone else, this is simply another painting of a woman for sole usage of titillation. For me your technique does more Impact than the subject and is the main force behind the impression (for both those looking for titillation or not)

While I've looked at this many times, and like it, I have yet to comment. First although there are details which bother me, she's a stunner(!!), and if I saw her on the street, I'd likely have a heart attack. As is usual with you, the colouring and shading is impeccable. While her boobs are huge, they're well shaped and not anatomically impossible, and lie very much as I have seen very large breasts lie on a gal lying on her back looks. The rest of her body works, although the left arm is a bit off. My only gripe, and it's personal and minor, is the piercing jewelry (excepting the earrings). It's just not my thing. But I'm not fool enough to toss her, or the drawing away because of my personal peeves. I call this a success.

Thank you Mangrowing for this excellent frame...! I have posted it on my Tumblr site and it has received 173 notes in 2 days. Not bad, eh? I am finding that this particular breast size seems to be the most popular among my posts. I have similar sized large breast and small hip images from many artists and the same seems to hold true to them for response. I always post your name and your Deviantart address when I post on Tumblr to make sure people can access this frame and your other art to enjoy. I hope you will do more small hip and big bust models. FYI, my Tumblr site is musemintmadness. Thank you again, Mangrowing... Kisses... Muse

OK so i disagree with the complaint on the breast puddling up on her chest. I have personally seen, with my eyeballs, in person, breasts that did that and were in fact only a tiny bit smaller. I find this not too anatomically farfetched albeit very rare to see IRL.

Utterly gorgeous! The enormous breasts are the only difficult-to-believe part of the drawing (not that I mind). Everything else looks like it could be a rotoscoped photo. Just more proof that sexuality doesn't have to be hyper-exaggerated or turned to cliche in order to be fantastic.

Your artwork really has come a very long way since the very beginning. I know you say you didn't do as much work on this picture, but everything from the proportions of her anatomy, to the coloring and textures, are all very good. And I don't just mean that I like huge proportions to boobs. I mean the boobs at that size look like I imagine they would if boobs could be that big naturally, and all the anatomically correct shapes to her body, the way the fabric of her pants hugs her or is crumpled up, it all looks very realistic.
Long story short: Excellent job!

It's so great to see an artist pushing their self so hard to improve! Often I see people just say that's where they're at and can't do anything about it, but you've made multiple improvements over this image! A request or two- when you make updates/improvements, please mark it as a significant change so your watchers will be notified- I didn't realize you had made changes until I looked at the image again later and saw your notes. Also, maybe you could post a before and after image- I can't recall what it looked like before, now, but I'd love to see the difference!

It looks great but something bugs me about her hair. It's just it doesn't feel like gravity had an effect on it.
