Description
EDIT: Finally, I drew the background by myself, so well, it is not exactly the same, some details have disapeared and it is not as beautiful as before but, well, I wanted to do this, I feel better now, because painting over the shot was like cheating for me
Moreover it was not as terrible as I thought at first 
Finally, drawing cityscapes is really funny I wanted to introduce to you another of my OC, Elizabeth "Liz" Callahan, undercover cop in Miami and an extreme sports fanatic
She is a bit inspired by Mariska Hargitay , I think...
The title of this work has been inspired by this song: C'mon and Try - Mellowdrone .
The reference used for the pose is a girl from the game "Need for Speed: Most Wanted".([link] )
Concerning the background, I used Edward Reed's technique for its mermaids: I painted the main details and colors areas over a shot. But I'm not sure I won't try to draw completly the city

Et après tu oses dire que tu sais pas bien dessiner les décors u_u
magnifique jeu de lumière sur Liz, aussi (note sans importance: tu sembles avoir diminué un peu sa générosité mammaire pour les illustrations suivantes ^^)

I hate doing backgrounds myself. But you did a top job on this. I especialy like the girl. The way you coloured her is awsome. So is the detail Well done I can tell you put tonnes of effort into this one

I really like the picture of the woman, the expression on her face and the look of her eyes. They are beautiful. It's a really cool character design and I like the little details, like that tatoo on her back, just peeking beneath her shirt.
These are just some suggestions I came up with after looking at it again after your re-post - I do hope you don't mind some critique: That shadow at the base of the arm pointing towards the viewer goes up a little bit too high, I think. It makes her arm look a litte too long and thin.
Second thing I saw is that the breasts seem to be too far up as well. With most women, the bottom line of them are just a little above the elbows. I use them as a reference. I'm also not sure of how much you would be able to see of the further away arm. You painted in the "middle line" of her pants, marked by seams - which turned out wonderfully realistical, wish I could do that - maybe you should do the same with her shirt, it seems... off somehow.
Also, with the background I noticed that not all lines of the building are quite vertical. I do not know whether you planed that - if you did, it looks fine, but you might wanna use a grid function to straighten them a little.
Last, I really love the palm trees, and how they seem red in that light - especially since I keep forgetting myself that coloured lights cast coloured shadows...
I hope this is helpful. If you do not want this kind of comments, just tell me, and I'll stop critizing you. (Most of the time I don't have the time for a real "critique" anway...)

-Hmm, for the shadow, you're right, I'll have to fix that, I must admit I'm not good with the "lighting" function in PS, it is always "too much" or "not enough"
-For the breasts indeed they are a bit far up as well but concerning the bottom line, unfortunatly my model put it far far far up the elbow, I do not understand
-The arm was an ordeal, I had no model at all, I try to use DAZ3D as a reference and well, to be honest, I was now waiting for such comments to know what was good/wrong
-I simply forgot the seams on the shirt............. >_<
-For the background, well, I painted it with freehand and shapes, buildings or everything else you can imagine with lines are always an horror for me
Once again thanks a lot for this comment, hope to have more like this, it helps a lot and allow me to improve my work

You're very welcome.
I'll try to take the time more often with your work - I'm not always sure whether people really want a "critique" or just a "nice pic". about the reference... Do you have siblings/friends/parents around when you draw? sometimes my sister'll pose for me...

Honestly, your comments bring a lot, moreover because it is focused on details.
Critiques are really interesting and, I think, they are the best way to improve
And unfortunatly, no one can pose for me 
Thanks again and again

As I said, you're welcome. I don't know whether I can be a lot of help with your terragen pics, as I do little in 3-D myself, but I'll try with drawings, because I too think it's the best way to learn.
oh, I have a wood model like that myself - found real people easier to reference from, though... never heard of DAZ, though...

DAZ is a 3D software allowing you to render scenes and people. Honestly I use it more for the poses than to do a complete scene
It is free, you can download it here: [link]
