Yay! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for being so kind and helpful!!
If my mama taught me anything, it's to be thankful for what you have. 
I really do appreciate all the comments, critiques and encouragement that you all take the time to share. Thank you!! 
This piece took a while, but I wanted to push myself in preparation for GermanCityGirl's piece. I think it turned out pretty well. Let me know what you think!!

Thanks! I don't really do pics like this right now. They take a really long time and don't generally have positive feedback. I'm so glad you like it!

Thanks!! I think this is the most realistic piece I have in my gallery. I tend to experiment with a mixture of cartoony and realistic now. ^_^
Thanks again!!

I'm not trying to be rude by saying that it looks like a photograph without the textures, but... it looks much like a photograph o.o ...as in "That's skill." Did you use a photograph and digitally paint over it, or did you draw this out from start to finish, coloring it all from your mind or from a photograph beside you?

Hey there! ^_^ I drew it from start to finish. I had a photo reference that I worked from closely, and took my guidance from that. I'll probably never work so closely to a photo reference again, because I keep getting the same reaction. People think it's good, but a little TOO good (like I didn't really do it.) Notice there's nothing else like this in my gallery.
Good to hear from you! Talk to you soon. Peace. ^_^

OH EM GEE! This is amaaaaazing! I was looking at the thumbnail and i was, ooh so he's a photographer ALSO! But then i fullviewed it and i was so blown away with the way you were able to make this picture so realistic. The detail is so good and the anatomy is beautiful. *i like the boobies! hahahaha, that's my fav part. no homo though*

Well, the new techniques that you've tried worked out perfectly. The way you were able to get the correct color/tones for her body are great. (most people don't know which colors to use when coloring skin) And that's great that this pieces has given you more ideas. By all means, go and creat some more so that i can just stare for hours on end at your artwork!
You are very welcom!!

Thanks for the kind words and the encouragement! ^_^ Thanks also for reminding me not to get cocky, although I don't really think that way (they are TONS of artists here that make my stuff look like crap). Staying humble is key.
Thanks again! I see 100k is in the distance as well. It'll just take some time to get there.
