The face is great and you've really captured her essence. I can totally see Amy here. She's rad in the green dress too. Love the concept.
I must say though, it looks like you rushed the coloring on the body a little. There's not as much contouring as you usually do. She looks a little flat.
Still, nicely done. I say it's the personality that really matters in these and that is definitely there!

You know the coloring of her was a bit weird. I decided to use different colors than usual cause she has red head skin. I actually did a lot more work than I usually do on skin lately. She is just so white and on Matthews computer it looks flat because the differences are more often in color than value, so his computer only picks up like half of the skin tones I used. It could be the computer and it could be the sheer outstanding whiteness. LOL Its weird though cause my computer is way older than his, so why would the video card have more colors? eh? confusing.
I tried using regular colors and it looked so silly. Like someone had stuck Amy in a tanning booth and it actually worked instead of turning her into a human raspberry. LOL Something else that was hilarious was the reference photo I was using was of Lynda Carter, in the 80's, in a burlesque outfit. So she had on those SUPER dark shiny tights that shimmer. So I got in my human photocopier mode and started painting up her legs with this FANTFUCKINTASTIC shine right down the leg. Not even thinking about it. I stepped back and went " wtf is that?" and THEN realized what I was doing. LOL I kept a little of the shine cause it looked good but nooooo shimmer tights for Amy, ....so sad.
What I am pretty sure about though is that when I have it printed ALL of the colors I used will show up, which is all I really care about. I have more prints of kehli art BTW and Derricks W-2's I need to stop by there on wednesday, I'll be going through downtown about 6 or 7. <3!!

Ah, I see. That makes a lot more sense now. It just looked different, you know? I await the prints to be able to see all the paleness in its full glory.
See you tomorrow!

im gonna have to agree to disagree with that one. i think the coloring is perfect, anymore and i think it would a little too harsh. keep in mind that she is a redhead and has really fair skin, you know?
awesome job!

I'll just point to what Karina said about computer monitors vs. prints.
And about leg shimmers. Which was where much of my confusion came from, since it just looked different than usual.
But mostly, I wasn't referring to skin tone, but rather the depth of the shadows.
