Description
Disgusting ,had to be mocved, but people seem to liek it so it wasn't deleted.This is Akeldama (known as Dama for short),new, rather prettier, strain of Wraith.
Technically shes a 'lepidoptera' wraith as you can see, she has feathered rather than non feathered antennae... but butterfly sounded nicer
Wraith, Atlantis and all that jazz (c) respective owners.

I think she looks wonderful!
There are a couple of points I noticed, mainly her left eye, could possibly be brought down a bit, with the angle of her face. Secondly to her collar bone. The curve of it is a little too high, though upon looking at it, it goes along with the curves of the rest of the picture quite nicely. With her being wraith (it's been a LONG time since I saw SGA), that probably works for her. (hope you don't think i'm picking on you, just some pointers for future ref. 
Overall it is beautiful and you can tell there was a lot of time and effort put in with all the detail there is

Thankthee kindly
I probably shoudl have used a bigger sized canvas with the drawing stage, tend to mess up on faces if its too small 
Oh, on the contrary, I appreciate the honest critique. Soemtimes I know the faults (never go back to fix them though) but just keep quiet, sometimes I just dont notice them from having been staring at the image too long..fresh eyes are appreciated :3
Aw, thankthee.

You're welcome
I understand that completely! Sometimes I've got it so close, and not large enough that by the time I zoom out i'm like.."ew" XD
Awesome, didn't want you to think I was being a busy-body
welcome <3

XD done that a few times... or get the feeling i'm doing something wrong as at a large scale (not an extreme lose up, just a bit big for viewing purposes on a website) the picture looks fine, make it smaller and it's like 'what in the hell happened there?' because as far as I understand it, smaller hides all the msitaks and should technically look better, or so others say XD
Busy-body indeed, helpful critique is good :3 Yeah, understand that.. afterall, no point going back if its just not going to want to work anyway... learn what you can and move on

very scary :[
It's in Photoshop under Filters, near the top. It's used to help move lines or the picture all at once so that, like in my case with the big head, I could scale it down without distorting the picture

Well thankfully you were able to reverse the damage :3
ah, I see! personally I try not to touch filters ..but it sure sounds handy :3

I think the background was worth every long tedious moment taken on it! It looks great. I sure love that chair!
Dama looks pretty awesome too! Cool outfit you did for her!
