Description Painted in MyPaint with minor touch ups done in Photoshop.

You could say that this is a redrawn concept art of the goddess from an old project [link] I was working on. I hope to revisit it soon. As it is right now, I'm not quite satisfied with it. I've redrawn it twice! Hopefully I do it some justice when I work on it again.

The pose was copied from a glamor magazine. The model is clothed in white underneath a water fall. My anatomy is a little off I think and I don't know what's wrong with her face. It looks ok up close but not from a distance.

Here's a close up view of the face: [link]

I love the idea, colors and the expression on her face ^^ . I guess there's a tiny little mistake with her right eye ( the one behind the nose) . I guess if the eyelid is a little higher and the eye less tilted it might become anatomically correct. Sry if my comments are evil; I wish I'm as good with drawing/painting as spotting mistakes

I ended up redoing her face but I still don't like the way it looks. I'm going to revisit this but right now I probably need more practice at realism. XD

Drawing from life helps a lot with realism. If you don't have a model you can always draw yourself
