[edit: Updated the pic with some of the changes people suggested... tried to fix the hands some, the eyes, softened the focus on the necklace and added a little more contrast throughout her body, tweaked the collar bones as well...]

Playing around with learning new things... this was supposed to be a quickie but I spent way more time on it than originally intended. I know there are some errors but I don't really plan on fixing them at the moment. Its about 6:30 am and I'm exhausted.

So here's my goddess girly...

I can only notice a couple things wrong with it but I think it is an excellent picture. ^_^
The two things that stand out are the ears being too high, and the clavicle bones aren't equal in length.
It doesn't look like her eyes are pointing in the same direction also but I don't think it's that bad...

I like the freckles. ^.^
The clothing reminds me of Yuna from Final Fantasy X. XD (Yes, I'm an RPG freak. ^^)
Did you use a reference for the face? Because I think it's very nice looking. ^^

The monochrome lighting looks real nice also!

I think it's good that you spent longer making it, because time always pays off. ^_^

Ciao! XD

It's wonderful! She's so cute and I adore those freckles. The only tiny crit I can come up with would maybe be that the rest of her skin is so smooth and freckle free. Most people I know with freckles on their nose also have at least some freckles and spots on the rest of their body.. it's just a tiny thing and I'm probably wrong.

I swear I just love looking at your art, Jezebel. The colors, they're always just right.

Anyhow, the face in this one is awesome. The only crit I can give you is that it looks like her right eye is off a little. It looks like they are not looking in the same direction. Other than that, it's perfect.

Hehe...I love her freckles.

are her hands supposed to be reaching forward a bit? if they are in that position (as it seems), they seem terribly small. Like they belong to a child...

*goes to check to the mirror*

Hmm. Actually my hands are small too so that didn't help out. Maybe she's got my anatomy with hands? Uhm. This didn't help out a bit. Her propotions are a bit weird, but not everybody has the ideal propotions I guess. So, nice job. I love the freckles

One thing. I've got freckles too... But they're only barely visible on the arms (where i've got a few), so I don't think that it's weird to have them only on the face. Nice job with it, keep the good art coming!

Wheee... had to dig this up off the 3rd page... sorry

Thanks for the comments everyone. Yeah I know the hands are a bit funky, that was the last thing I did so I got a bit lazy I think. I had planned on going back to completely repaint this, so at that point I hope to fix some of the issues.

The symmetry was sort of intentional though... to represent perfection, but not total perfection. There are some slight variations on either side and I added the freckles to make it a little different. When I go back to color it I expect to vary each side a bit more.
