| well, it does remind me of the birth of venus. but if venus is the god of beauty, maybe she should be more beautiful. not that she's bad looking, but it doesn't really make me think of venus. |

i agree with snowman.. she looks more like marla from 'Fight Club" than the goddess of beauty. also maybe use a brush that has anti-aliasing on it, for smoother lines. maybe work at a larger size, then scale the picture back down. just suggestions anyhow...

the thing that bothered me the most is the proportions. the weist r too low. on females the rib cage looks smaller and teh weist are higher and legs become longer. and the nipples point outwards not straight forward. and more femal atributes on the face lie red lips or more sentual lips. thicker eye lashes. looks too manly.
pardon my english.
keep up the nice work

Well technically in today's terms Venus the goddess of beauty would actually be quite different to the Venus way back when it all started. Apparently in stark contrast to todays lean and sexy supermodels (not the skinny ones tho! yuck!  ).
They used to idealise a woman as a rather plump and vivacious kind of thing. So to them a chubby woman was perfect!  hmmmm.... 
Thats why the original vision of Venus the Goddess of beauty was a chubber... hehe
On a similar note:
Women = Synergy. The advantages of a beautiful form, with the pleasures of perfect function. A synergy that when put together.......WOOHOO! 
hehe. I hope I dont offend anyone....
