Thank you! Normally I'd have a slight fill light on the dark side of her face, but liked the look of this.

Wow. She looks absolutely stunning in this. The colors on her are so rich and vibrant. And her eye is so sharp... it's almost eerie the look she is giving. the lighting is really great too, and love the effect it has on her face. part of it blacked out like just looks really neat. also, the background is neat too. i don't know if it was there already, or something you manip'd yourself, but it's pretty neat looking. all in all, this is a beautiful photograph of her, i really hope she loved it.

I always welcome and appreciate your comment.
Only thing I really did to this is a softening technique that I wrote a (TUTORIAL on. Oh, and her contacts showed a little, so I painted that out a bit.
Thanks again.

That's a really good tutorial. Is that lyzardstomp site yours? Or do you just do things for it? Anyways though... I'm always surprised when I look at other people's tutorials... because even with as much as I know, I still know so little. I'll have to sit down one day and go through them all on that site, because I like to know as much as I possibly can about what I'm doing.

Yeah, lyzrdstomp is mine. I'm the ultimate geek (art, music, computers, gaming, electronics), so I decided to sit down and put together a site showing my geekness!
Appreciate you taking a look at it.

Role Play, eh? I'm a roleplayer too. Used to do Shadowrun, D&D and Gamma World. On the computer, I'm a Neverwinter Nights fanatic (designing my own module right now...) and a huge fan of Jade Empire.
We're geeks!!!
