Description
A sketch created mainly for the purpose of practicing lighting turned out to look quite ok, so I ended up finishing it. I had loads of fun painting this one and it went along rather smoothly, too
For those of you who read descriptions, here's a link to some screenshots I've taken during painting: [link]
Created fully in Photoshop with a little bit of Painter.

Lovely work. fun to see the progress on this. etting, concpet, mood....all awesome.
I just wish that you hadn't cropped it sooo close to her knee! The toes and fingers also didn't get too much love, and look bleh at this point.

awesome pic, your style and PS skills are impressive.
even though i'm nowhere near an expert at anatomy, i just want to point out a few parts that (i think) could be fixed. you don't have to agree. first of all, her right eyebrow is a bit off... it gives her a great expression, but it should be moved towards the side of her face more... the inside part should end more or less aligned with her outer nostril. sorry, i don't know exactly what to call it. =\
her right forearm is way too long. i tried her position (it's pretty hard). and the way she's crouching... my arm only hangs down so that my fist is right about where my ankles are. ok... call me inflexible, i know i am... but what she's doing is impossible. if you want her hand resting down on the branch, my suggestion is to make her body hunch down more or to lower her right shoulder.
ok. and uh, seeing as how she's a "demon" of sorts, she might be able to shiftshape and extend her arm or something. lol, i wouldn't know. but uh... what i'm pointing out only applies if she's got human-like physical qualities (other than her fingers and toes, which i like, btw).

Amazing job! You have an excellent handle on anatomy -- I thought this was a photomanip at first.

Her fingers and toes DEFINITELY creep me out, though.

She's beautiful 
It's stunning, the details you added. I love the lace in particular, I don't know why, it's just so elegant
Only problem I can find is that her left shoulder looks a bit bumpy, but I don't know if that's because of light or because she's non-human. Or even both 
Now I'm babbling...
Beautiful work

Wow...absolutely beautiful. I love the expression on her face and the colors are amazing. You certainly convey a sense of beautiful danger...I guess if you're gonna go, it might as well be a killing blow from her!

wonderful drawing but even better that you let us see the "behind the scenes", it was highly educative, almost a tutorial by itself

I looked in the link, and it was very informative on how you think. The eyebrows you had on her reminded me very much of a Night Elf and they looked kinda cool that way as well. I also like her fingers... makes her seem almost like a Dryad in a way... I don't know.
The detail in this is amazing.

Wonderful as ever... Well maybe i'm being too critical but is there something wrong with the bust or is it just me?

İ think my disturbance about the proportions are originated from the lace dress... it is very femme fatale and sexy but while making the design, i think you missed some shading. More shading would support its body fitting model and make the body features more recognasible... just a suggestion you are free to take it or leave it
