first of all, you cant get a virus from a website, unless you agree to let it be downloaded. second, his site has nothing on it besides a temp graphic. chill dude.
Kuzya, i like the colors you used on this one, but the soft brushes show, its very blurry. i would suggest to keep at this pic and throw in some hard brushes or some really small soft ones to define the shapes more and bring it out a bit. |

I would highly suggest removing the Render Clouds filter from the bg and painting your own. |

thanks sporq, and manik.. well the only reason i have cloud render is well... so i dont have to paint against white and i didnt wanted to use black either .. so i decided to go with blue and black so i have lighter contrast... i hope that makes any sense.. |

Oooh.. I like her expression, she looks sweet
A few crits, though: She seems to be missing a neck as well as an upper lip (beware of the granny effect ^^') and the tip of her nose looks odd. I don't know if you wanted to go for a somewhat pale and "ashy" look but if you didn't, her lips/cheeks might need a touch of colour? |

is she at a bar with one of those light tables? thats the impression i get, very interesting.
i think it could be tightend up a bit more though, maybe some environment stuff. i like her attitude, very appealing. |

Actually that's not entirely true (don't misunderstand me I am not saying his site has any virii), but there are JavaScript trojan viruses out there that will download and run without your permission, since js is usually set to full permission on most peoples computers. How do I know this? My antivirus program (AVP) scans all files being run all the time looking for virii, and I cannot tell you the amount of times I have gone to sites of many different subjects and got an alert about a javascript trojan virus popping up left and right. |

Viruses from web pages:
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/12/11/2125224&mode=nocomment
(Keep in mind that the people at slashdot are keen to overreact )
And now to redeem my seemingly off topic post:
I think the right side of her mouth (her right) could be extended a little, right now it sort of looks like her mouth juts out...
Also, the collar bones don't seem to match up properly...
These should be easy to fix; it's a very nice pic. Keep up the good work! |

Couldn't resist commenting on a lil thing my old art teacher always told me.. that is;
Work on neutral shades, greys, and browns, unless there's a specific reason not to. As it enhances your perception of tone as you consciously need to place shadow and light.
I find it also cuts down on the inhibition of placing those first lines on a canvas. |
