Well painted, good colors and nice manga style, but looks too much like a child to me.

Hum.. This is an unexpected effect of doing girls with manga faces... It seems they are much younger than they should. I was using pics of 18 yo japanese girls or above as reference, but some people said to me that she's looks like a little girl... It's a point to take in consideration on next works. Thanks for your comments, guys.

great work!. . .very well painted.

I think it looks very realistic, so you did good in that respects.

I dont know anything about manga, but she doesnt look underaged only because of her facial features. She has little/no breasts, and her hips dont seemed to be developed either (characteristics of people who havent passed puberty).

Obviously, you guys havent seen enough Manga or rather Hentai, it´s all about innocent schoolgirls. (Allot of aliens are involved too). I think the picture looks really good.
The face looks a bit stiff though, could be softer the eyes could have more life and ennergy and there is a small too dark shadow inbetween her legs, ;) Neverhteless composition and body is verry well executed.

But not every woman in this world needs to be "supersized". Specially the oriental women. As Ikuru said, the most common women style on manga are the "petits".

Take a look on some references. They are of young but adult japanese women. (Warning: Links below contain nudity.)

Another excellent image! You've got a great style! I particularly like the skin tones and shading! :thumbsup:

[sokolova]

Beautiful idea! I like your work with details.

Amauri,

This is quite well done, but I have to admit that I as a parent (thank somebody, I only have boys) that it is a bit on the limit. In MY opinion this girl looks about 12 -14 years old ....
If I had been a mod/admin, I would not have let this image go through into the gallery ....

I'm not one to be offended about anything and even though I admit that I'm a hardcore feminist - I have somehow come to accept all the "sexy babes" images, but when a sexy babe looks like a little girl, then I draw my limit ....

Good execution though ....

Excellent work! And this and others in portfolio! I like!

:) :thumbsup:

:applause: :love:

Very nice jramauri! I always admire your 2D work. Hey, by the way, I don't see you post over at SimplyMaya anymore, what gives? Mike has come up with an really good challenge theme, and the winner get his or hers model made into a statue.

Hi Amauri,

Very nice work here. Really like your execution on this girl. The possible age of girl doesn't really bother me at all really. She may look like a kid, but there are really people like that in real life anyways like baby faces - the examples you posted. One thing though, I think her nose is a bit too blocky. I think you should soften it up a bit.

It is pretty clear that this image is about sex. I love how everyone but one person dances around the fact. I also think it is funny that you talk about how large the breasts are, but you give your representation a labial wedgie.

I think that your image is what it is, but you should at least own up to what it is instead of skirting around the fact.

Plus, this is not a new argument. The painter, Balthus had similar issues with his work.

All I am saying is, own your content. Don't make a picture of a young girl pulling up her shirt and the expect me to believe it is *just* a figure study.

the shadow on the camel toe, still looks really weird.
