Description
I don't know why, but since I got my A-Level Results, I've been very upbeat without actually feeling the boost of pleasure. Despite this lack of notice, my inspiration has been provoked to bring you this deviation which bears some resemblance in terms of stylistic aim as 'Ruby Sunset'.The girl in question is from this previous deviation, [link] , but I found her there very good but the face really let it down ><
So, since iki's deivation "Welcome to my Garden", I finally clicked the shape of the female eye and was finally pleased with! In fact, the entire deviation my best work to date. I never remembered taking so much time on the shading and not making a hash of it. I love it! XD Anyway, the details are that I acquired new filter facts to make the analgamation of real-life pic and drawn character as convincingly as I could. It's not bad but there are parts I find niggling away at me but not much.
I forgot to give the girl a name, so I'll give her one now - Awna. (Wow, instant name...usually it take 10 minutes to come up with a half-decent one! I'm on a roll! <3 ) Her past is marred with personal tragedy since the death of her elder brother to a pack of wolves many years ago. Since then, she has tried to master the forest and protect it from any other overwhelming tragedy. She is still learning, but she is improving by the day. However, when she told her father what she was trying to do, he didn't take it lightly and banished her from home forcing her to fend for herself. Despite this, she has thrived in her pursuit for the pack of wolves who took her brother's life. But it can be lonely from time to time with little or no contact with her very existence being twisted into the obscurity of legend by the local townspeople. Hence her moment of loneliness of reflection illustrated here.

Indeed, the head is good and the atmosphere waas realizable in the first glance, but niggling is a very funny word, lawlz.

Either that's hi-density carbon kinda steel of blade or it needs some highlights for contrast. If you look at metallic things, they're not really grey. Especially if it's reflective, you'd see bands of dark shadows and highlights.
The hands look paralysed and dehydrated.
My biggest gripe would be your usage of 100% black to denote something that's black in colour. If you really observe the black things around you, they always reflect back some light. The trick is to give it a gradient kind of look and using some dark cool colours like violet or aquamarine for tinting. Even black cooured materials would have highlights, midtones and shadows.
If it weren't for the stick and dead leaves in the left foreground, it would've been quite nice and believable.
A bit on your character background as well, you seem to always come up with a character that has had a really tough past or skeletons in the closet(s). Just wanted to point that out.

I know they do tend to have a tough past, I guess I tend to find that a bit more motivating for my characters. Kinda pragmatic you could say.
As for the background, like I said, this is experimental and I should be a bit more aware of the material in the picture. Thanks for the comments.
