Ugh. There's still stuff I want to fix but I've run out of stamina. I'm pretty happy with the bodice and face though.So yeah, I spent too much time playing around and experimenting with different brushes. Lesson learned.

Sometimes with proportions you've just got to say "eff-it" and move on. 
And speaking of 'dress overtly sexy' I completely forgot to mention how amazing the pearls on her bodice are, combined with the translucent gauze. It's such a great dress design over all. It makes me wish I wore dresses. But, not my colors, and not my style. Natalya deserves to be that gorgeous.
Finally, that purple in her hair, and in her dress is marvelously subtle, and brilliant.

Yes, arms seem to be my downfall, lol. A bit harder to avoid than feet...
Awww! Thank you so much! I enjoyed designing the dress a lot. I don't wear dresses often either, but I do have a love for them.
Thank youuu~!

I'll make my pictures very short, and you'll make yours very narrow. ^^ More seriously, though, that would be interesting, trying to do a series of portraits without arms. Hmmm. I'll have to think about that.
I'm still loving the shine on Natalya's brocade/the piping or whatever it is on the bottoms of the sleeves and the bust. Beautiful. Although the patience you must have had to employ for those pearls is staggering.

Lmao! Pretty hard to do, that. Maybe it would be less of a hasle to just improve on anatomy.
Thank you! Actually, the pearls didn't take too long. What frustrated me the most was the messy skirt. Now that gave me a serious headache. It's gonna dissuade me from attempting that sort of design for a while, lol.

The color is fantastic (wow you must be tired of me saying this. I'm just so jealous of people who can color well). There are some awkward proportions on her lower arm. It must have been stretched an inch while no one was looking ^^.
Facial expression plus a billion. It's a great "Belarus will kill you while trying to seduce" face. Not one of those expressions that rolls of the tongue, I suppose

I'd never be tired of you saying something nice!
Oh, you noticed about the arm
I had the most fun drawing her face, and everything else just followed. She's such a fun character! There's something about her that's sensual without having to dress overtly sexy.
I love that! Lovely image you've brought there.
Thanks again!

Lol! Did Belarus choose another tactic to get her brother? My poor Ivan, I doubt you can resist it! C:

Oh, she's a tricky one isn't she! Even in canon, Ivan described her as beautiful, didn't he? A change of tactic may be all she needs to get what she wants.

You've got it to the point! XD
