Finally, after many moons I think I can call her complete.
I don�t quite like this one as much as Koresha but I still like the way it came out.

PS, Is it normal for your images to use 1200MB of ram and have 250 layers�. Heh this one did

Almost forgot, I decided to leave the plate OFF her cleavage and yes exposing her heart , like one guy said, she�s just that good.

pretty cool, the trees look a bit crap however.

1200mb ???? : FU*K SAKE !! : u must use a super computer to run Photoshop?!?!?!?!

how many layers?? : u should flatten them as u go along, that many layers will just become confusing after a while!!!

cool pic however!

haha.. shamhead. I can just hear that irish accent. Must sound pretty cool...

Snakebyte - impressing picture. Abit too much work with the PS - airbrush. Try using the paintbrush more. You can still do very nice gradients and you'll get rid og most of that mucky feeling of the airbrush. Nice details though...

,Boom

The only thing I do not like is that opening in the armor for the breasts, I mean, it looks nice, but it makes the armor pretty much useless, one arrow to the chest and she's done for.

Yea, I know, but like I said before She�s just that good.

I had another version with a plate but I along with a few others thought it just looked better without. I guess if I had to explain it, She is dressed in her Formal armor instead of her battle armor�. Yea that�s it�

250 layers?

[Snakebyte]

At the time of completion there were 145 layers

Helm_20 hair_4 Soeina(including Armor)_76 Horse_19 Background_9 other_17

Most layers were turned off and unused; they contained alternant versions of various parts of the picture that I did not want to delete. (I throw nothing away )

Although the pic used 850-1200 MB of ram, having 1Gig of ram (910 available for Photoshop) it rarely lagged to a crawl.

BooMSticK: lol
Snakebyte: 145 layers.. sorry but the thought just makes me laugh.. i usually use about 3 layers and in major pictures about 15, but 145... no..
I have 622mhz with 120mb of ram, and i manage well..

Comments..
I like it.. but something bothers me, the upper body looks so flat.. I don't really know how you should fix it, maybe the (our) right hand souldn't be so shiny.. Or something.

Would look better if you add some reflection of the forrest to the armour..
Nice pic (again), i do like it..

btw. SAME (sorry about my english)

the foreground trees bother me, seems like too little detail-blurred results in even less detail. the left corner where you can see branches running underneath, they look kind of confused also, too much bending, curving downward. the good is the rest, nice pic
