Just finished this! As you might see I kept it in the Daredevil theme I've been doing lately...though this'll be the last one for a while...gotta get back to my oilpaintings.
Hope you like it and please feel free to C&C as much as you can, thanx!

No replies??? Wierd...and I really liked it...guess no one else did...or just couldn't think of anything to say...oh well...better luck next time

I think it is pretty slick.
But you could work on it some more, the face for example... my first thought
when I look at it, was that it seems like you hade some problems with her face and tried to solve it by not doing any eyes etc... perhaps i am wrong. And maby you cold look over the values and contrast, and try to use one of the diffrent parts of her as a starting point and make the values the same all over. I guess you could look over the anatomy aswell... and I could look over my english. Anyways... this is good work, and with some small adjustment it will be just terrific!

I think its neat. Also very creepy (I hate clowns). Is the incomplete half-face a conceptual choice? Also something about the way her skin looks that looks kinda like its made of clay, but thats actually a pretty interesting look to me. Overall, I dig!

the rendering is all very nice in this, but my main suggestion is on the left half (our right) side of her face. I'm sure this was purposefully left blank, but i don't think it fits into the style of the rest of the piece. Keeping the featureless side of the face is fine, but i think the skin at least needs to represent some shadowing and depth, cause as of right now it just seems like you forgot to paint it after laying down a ground color.

I like the style, its quite nice. It lacks a bit of 'pazaz' that makes the charcter really stand out, but its still quite nice. Perhaps if the edges on the swords were sharper, and the swords themselves had a bit more of a metal shine to them it'd look better. Nice work on the jacket/shirt, you must have put a fair amount of work into that.

I think this is quite nice ! Nice technique and style...
A couple of suggestions and questions...
-the right part of the face which is one color, is there a reason for this, I mean like storywise ? If not I would consider making something there. It's a cool stylization, but it looks a bit weird since the rest doesn't have that same stylization, if you know what I mean ?
-Proportional I like it very much, especially the upper part. I think the legs could be a bit thinner, there's something around were the legs meet her body that makes it a bit too compact. I don't mean it looks weird anatomical, but compared to the rest I'd consider doing this area less chubby.
-I do also have a bit of problems understanding how the foot at the bottom are. it looks a bit too undefined.
Other than that, great work.

Thanx alot everyone for all the comments and critiques...
Seems that the "half-face" idea I went for is the one that created the most response...This choice of mine was based on the fact that "Typhoid Mary" a character who has a love/hate relationship with Daredevil suffers from multiple-personalities...since she has several different personalities I felt that leaving that side "blank" would kinda have the affect that it's always changing and always inbetween various personas...and would kinda make the viewer apply a facial expresion on their own...not sure that works unless you know the character...
The original character which you could find in various galleries on the net has one half painted white, as I have done and the other just regular with some make-up...
Chubby mid-area...I got this response from a friend when I showed it too him and the wierd thing is I don't see it...I know what you mean but for me it looks right...kinda hard to change something when you don't see it
The swords - I personally didn't want to give it that extra metellic look...another friend actually said this too...funny...I wanted the swords to eminate the smoke and therefor have them be more white as if the smoke was literally coming out of them...maybe I decided wrong...hmmm
Anyway..thanks again for the great responses and critiques...most of them were about the same things so that should mean that my choices might not have been the right ones
