Very subtle indeed... The palette is quite muted; really suits the atmosphere and the lighting you placed her in.

The skin tones are so nicely laid out Wow, this is just lovely! I took a look at your reference shot and I have to congratulate you for being able to paint the upper arms and shirt all by yourself Great work!

Beautiful work

I think i know whats going on here and if i'm right-- that title is perfect!!

others have already said what i was thinking so-- i say just define the palm more actually

without those more defined lines in there-- her hand gives of the look of being a little plastic and stiff( not a hard lines though lol- cause i've noticed your style is smooth

I think recently watching Babel might have had an influence.

Actually no, she's just..gossiping...

"I've got an idea."

The face is lovely. I know feet are a whole other hurdle and that they are slightly obscured but I wish she had them. Don't worry though, I cut off the feet more out of anyone I know. Good work on the rest!

Thanks! When I started this, I didn't plan on rendering it as much as I ended up doing. I originally just planned for it to be a study of sorts to see just how much information I can get from a small reference photo.

That's way cool. The tiny photo seems like a cool way have to simply shapes.

Beautiful shading! You handled the multiple light sources very well, it looks really believable. The only problem I can see is the left wrist. It's hard to say why, but it doesn't look right. Maybe the bone needs to be more defined? I'm not sure. But otherwise, wonderful piece.

Thesis-D [2007-04-09 07:51:24 +0000 UTC]

The lighting, shadows, and skintones are what make this picture. Great job. I don't see whats so subtle about it though.

that and playing around with more muted colors since most the lighting comes from behind her.
