Looks yummy. The only thing that kinda throws it off for me is that the snake looks like it's 'floating' and has no real weight on the girl making it less dynamic.

Excellent pic though. =)

Great pic dude ...

but there is just something i don't like in the dress ... add more detail and it just might help ... maybe someone else is thinkin the same and can get out of his words to explain but currently i don't actually know whats bothering me about her dress ...

..the dresses color is too falt....if that's what your wondering.. by having a snake clenching around her there should be numerous folds of clothing and areas where the clothign will be pushed in along with the skin. Anyway, really cool picture.....but I think the snake wins the tounge stickign contest

I think this is awesome. I don't think that the snake would put much strain on the girl, and I also like the dress as it is. I like how you've captured the texture of snakeskin, very well done. All in all an excellent job.

mmm... sacrelicious

Beautiful, really!!

I think that the shadow parts on the skin of the girl could be of some more weight. I think it would improve the image. The snake, as well as the dress and the girl's hair, have heavy shadow parts, but the girl's skin is a bit too 'soft'.. The shadow on the skin on the extreme left (top of her arm) is just the right color.

Kristiaan: I see what you're saying about the girl's shading... Yeah, I guess it should be darker. The extended arm looks kinda flat and could use that extra shadow.

Loud: I was lucky the snake turned out as good as it did ^_^;; I agree that the snake and the girl don're really "interact" enough. The hand around its neck could really use some work.

The dress... I'm not having as much of a problem with that. I see what you guys are saying, though.

Thanks for the C&C!

Nice!

I don't think some of your edges are working as well as the could be. they are a bit hard around the outline and there isn't a whole lot of contrast seperating her from the BG. It could be that what you've done is the best way to go though. softer edges can make it looka bit more realistic sometimes as opposed to looking "cut out".

just a few thougths, I really like the design of it.
