Description

This is a rework of my last painting submitted here.

I wasn't very happy with the face, so I re-painted it. Did a little studies of the classic masters' paintings, and ref using my own face in the mirror. I personally think this is better than the last version, which was painted straigh from a quick sketch in anime-ish style. Somehow I felt the not so realistic face didn't look that nice when it's rendered so. I was quite happy with the armour so I did little change for it.

C&C welcome!

Painted in photoshop.

Yes this is a significant improvement.

The face has more appealing proportions now.
The armour is greatly done, but perhaps some scratches
here and there could be added...just a thought.

The ear seems a bit odd:p

Great work + 9

She has such beautiful eyes, I am truely amazed.
I am also loving her hair - it looks so soft and is flooding so well.
You also did such a great job on the lightning and coliring of this figure.

BTW thank you very much for your help on the Chinese websites. I was too busy to respond till now but I still wanted to let you know that I am thankful :)

Her face is priceless, I never saw the previous version butI certainly find this one to be quite beautiful. Her fragile look and light hair make a powerful contrast with the armour (symbol of strenght? ).. I like this very much :)

The eyes look amazing, awesome reworking.

I prefer they eyes to be a bit smaller. However they are so splendid and emotional. The whole pic is just damn great :). The black background shouldn't be left so blank like that. Some slight strokes may help.
+7/7.

Hihi all, thanks so much for the comments and suggestion

Aaron,
Thanks! Now, maybe I should try give it a background...

Wallace,
Yay I am glad this turns out to be an improvement! I fixed the ear stuff and hope this worked out fine now.

Azurelle,
you are very welcome! I am glad to be able to help

kittyKat,
Nothing wrong with your memory. I reworked the image and submitted it as a new one. I wanted to be able to get comments even from people who's seen the old version.

klyph,
Actually I agree with you one the lighter eyes, so I brought they back

pawlack,
That's a good suggestion. Now looking at it I think the colour on the armour seems to be a bit plain.

Simply beautiful work. The earring has to be my favorite part of the piece. My eyes were immediately drawn to it.

So nice! A huge improvement over the previous version. I love the armor as well as the new skintones. The armor being shiny as it is adds a certain freshness to it, as if it's worn for the first time, and yet her gaze has a certain sagely quality to it that suggests this isn't her first time wearing one at all. Something a bit more for the background would've been nice, yep, but it's good right now as well. ;)

Beautiful eyes! Amazing work! :)
 
Avatar williamli

very nice. a bit like realistic anime :)
some points that i think can help elevate it a bit:
* more shadow on the area of her right eye, due to the overhanging hair.
* more contrast in the armour to make it more metallic.
* her ear should be a bit lighter, since it's directly in the light.
thumbs up!

The thoughtful expression was great.
