Well I started this and I think it looks ok at the moment.

But I have become bored with it and want to move on to something new. So I thought I would post this up here and get some comments from everyone.

Anyone think I should finish?

Thanks for replys in the WIP while I was working on this.

Very cool, i'd expand on the forest in the background and the other surrounding plants. Mabye push towards a more humid and lush feel for the enviroment.

I say continue with it, it's wicked so far!

i like the pose and the composition. i would darken the waters reflection to match the sky and give the girl more reds and oranges in her skin tone. its too monotone and could use some variations. maybe some pink on her nose and nipples and around her cheeks and ears. you should work on her more since she is the subject and in the foreground. another reason is because the detail in the toga/ wrap thingie is taking away from her. one more thing. smudge the clouds some more - they're too pixelated. have fun and show us an update. good luck!!

i tend to agree a lot with mellowsmoothe. she does lack some red tones on the skinn. looks too much like a statue. more red on nose , cheeks, chest, elbows, knockles (not shown here. 4get it) and so on. make her look less cold.

nice piece, btw.

Hey thanks for the comments.

Poxin: good idea about the forests in the background, don't know about making it more lush. I really wanted her to be the central focus. But if I work on this anymore I will detail out the background a little bit more.

mellowsmoothe: thanks for the comments, I agree on everything you said. I don't know when I will get around to finishing this one, from everyones replys it sounds like I should. Perhaps I just need a few days away from it then I will get back to work.

topeira: your right she does look cold, I wanted her to look pale, so I didn't really go for a lot of red in her skin, but if she is looking like a statue then I guess I need to work on a better skin tone.

Again thanks for the replys, maybe after this weekend, and working on a few new pieces I will pick this one back up again.

Anyone else have suggestions?
