Wow, that's absolutely beautiful! The expression on the girl's face is lovely, she seems to be angry to be having her portrait painted. The shading, the colours, everything is so incredible. I like the concept of the Gucci vase dribbling, as though fashion is dying out; and the girl's expression as though she's angry at fashion. Great work

This is so gorgeous. Finding artworks like this is why I joined dA in the first place. I'm really disappointed that no one seems to have commented yet.

Your painting technique is superb. The blending is nice and subtle, especially with the model. It builds up her form without making her look 'blocky'. I really like how she stands out from the stark cool colour palette and the pared down background. The hints of pink in her cheeks and upper body catch your eye, but they're muted by the blue undertones of her skin. Her posture and expression all seem to convey distance and disdain. It seems like she's saying she could be seductive if she wanted to, but why bother? In this case, the cold blue undertones really emphasise it.

Overall, a beautiful painting. I really hope to see more from you, so I'm adding you to my devwatch list

(And... 5x5??? I'M 5ft tall exactly )

Seductive, without trying. Some people just have it I guess. I just showed Donnie Darko to a high school class in rural Canada. It really screwed them up. thanks so much for the comments! I'm just new at this deviant thing!

lol... none of them had ever watched Donnie Darko before? Weird. A few years ago, I would've understood if no one had even heard of DD, but now? Hmm. I guess it had more impact in the urban world than the rural. What class did you screen it for?

It was a Drama class. But these rural kids are just so redneck! It was just too bizarre for them, at first I played them Eraserhead, but forget it, they couldn't make it through the first 5 min. There are a few cool kids but very little stimulation for them.
