Great job. I remember seeing the other one you did and I like this one a lot better. I like the detail on the wood and the sword. And now the blue light makes sense.

However, I still think there are a few anatomy problems in the arms and her left leg looks a little long. And about her face: I think her cheek bones are a little too defined. Is this the original size you were working in? If you're working larger I would go in a put more detail in and around the eyes. The best thing to do would be to look at pictures of some females to get help on how to make her look more feminine.

And why is she frowning? She's naked, has a big sword, a bone in her hair, and a little birdy at her side, she should be anything but.

Hope I help a little
Todd

well, delucubus, ya see, she is pesimist woman and u can see that even a bird, asword and some landscape couldn't make her feel better. that's who she is

and i worked on this pic in a rez that is 2000x2000. much much bigger. my poor 64MB computer barely handeled it. anyway more details on her eyes might get her to look older and even less feminin. i might try to get the blue line on the cheek outta there...

I can't help but thinking that that tree bark is gonna chafe just a little bit.

her left eye needs to be more on an angle or brought in a bit, the eyes are too aligned. also the whites of the eyes are too white. try darkening them and introducing highlights instead. also, maybe try making the mouth a little smaller, hence more feminine? instead of shading to black, try like blood red or red/brown/black... i dunno, it would iliminate the grey tones... its tremendous overall though. wikkid piece. the creases in the boots and basic anatomy and clouds are awsome. maybe even try making the bark a little greyer, i found out too late that bark is rarely as brown as that..
