Its very detailed and its incredible but, she looks a little too muscular. It kinda makes her look manly.

Thanks for your comments, but as you can see, this is in the surreal category, in other words, it's not meant to be a pretty portrait of someone, but something in the realm of dreams or visions. The fact that the figure is androgynous visually makes her a metaphor for all humanity, both men and women, I could also say her arms seem too long, or that the perspective is somewhat distorted, but then I could also look at someone else's work and comment that vampires and dragons don't really exist: art doesn't have to be like a photograph to convey a meaning.

It's not my place, but touchΓ©. I love the way the right leg tilts, like they're about to collapse. It's a powerful image. Great work!
