No wonder you're so proud of this!
It's amazing!
Truly amazing work on such a difficult medium. So what if her finges look a little flat, or that her nose is a bit off, the overall impression of this is wonderful. You have quite a skill with them paints man.
All I can muster is: wow!

i love the chiaroscuro effect, and it is expertly wielded in this piece. excellent work on the arms, you can really see the muscles straining. much respect for your medium.

This is a nice piece and you've got a great blending technique going on. The colours are warm and rich and the composition is perfect. I like the highlights on the hand.

I absolutely -love- the tones and shadows. But, I think the best part is her expression, deffinitely...

Caravaggio was one of my most envied portrait artists! It's awesome to see another traditional media painter on DA!!! *hugs*
Real good man, almost looks like oil on board.

Congratulations on being featured in the Fortnight Spotlight by ` lllo0o0olll
You've done very well with the lights and shades, and her body is very well defined. I can see the sinews.
A few points to note, the hand on my right (which I believe is also her right hand) seems flat especially at the last two fingers. They lack roundness and dimension. And the features of her face look a little awkward for some reason. Can't quite point out what it is exactly. Probably the general position of her features in relation to the head tilt.
However, it's oil on canvas and we all know how trying that is... truly a lovely piece of art.

the hands look great. Couple of flaws tho, the nose is a bit off, and I think the eyeballs are too bright, but really impressive piece overall. Wonderful skills you got

i know a girl that looks exactly like this.
very beautiful. i love the tone of her skin. the lighting is gorgeous it really emphasises her form. the white eyes seem a little strong compared the the rest of the piece but i guess its good for making of face the focal point.
your paintings are really impressive. im having a great time looking at them =c)

*gawks* a virtually flawless peice of art..with such a hard medium...i wish i was even 1\2 that good w\ my oil painting! Great use of space. I love how well you did the shadows and light on her body. Her facial expression evokes a lot of emotion. Nice work here! for sure...

Absolutely gorgeous, but her right eye (ACTUAL right, not perception right) looks weird, like it's too white or too near to the camera. Other than that, just........... fantastic......... I thought it was a photo when I glanced at it on thumbnails.
Extremely well done, I bow to your use of light/shadow.

dramatic, but not quite chiaroscuro.
not enough darkness. you need -more- darkness.
...nice technical skills.

Colors are very warm and beautiful... Her nose looks a bit odd though.
A beautiful piece as a whole. Stunning detail.
