Description Name is from Final Fantasy XII.
I like how this one came out (for a change) although some times during making it where really annoying (for example taking 3 hours to cut her out...). I would have liked to make the image wider, but I couldn't find another image of the bridge thing (it's already made up of two atm to make it longer).

i really like this one! it was a melancholic mood yet it's very peaceful!.

The lighting is amazing!! superb! It blends the two pieces together perfectly! You are getting better my dear!e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart" /> e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/a… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Aww" />


the only thing that i don't like, it that her edges are a bit sharp. What i do, is erase the edges, with opacity 50% and under!
The hardest part for me is the hair. Your lighting again stunning, what i'd have done, is smudge little hairs, to make give it movement.
I use that tool, to make the hair blend better with my background.

Nevertheless it is STUNNING! Beautiful work!!e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart" /> well done!

Thanks for the critique!
Thanks! The lighting is always my worst part lol.. good to know it looks okay
I try to erase the edges sometimes, but I always end up undoing it since they end up really bumpy and weird.. I really need to get a tablet 'cause it would make stuff like that so much easier. It's the same with hairs.. you see it in like every hair tutorial, but whenever I try to do it, they just look.. smudged lol..
Also.. I just realised that I left the original copy of her layer visible underneath, which doesn't really help lol... so that's partly why it's sharp.
I don't think I'll fix it though.. (too much work lol)
Thank you so much! You know I really appreciate it!
And I'll try to make the edges softer next time!

about the hair, when i first tried it, it looked smudged it didn't look okay, so what i did is, a make lighting on it, then smudge it, to get the shape i want, and then i add some hairs, with the dodge tool! but the brush has to be very small, you know. And i think it looks better that way! haha

You are truly welcome! I'm looking forward for your new work
