What's missing?

... an image, at the moment. Where's your link or attachment?

I like you idea and style, but I think you have some anatomy issues that you've gotta sort out before anything else. The legs, especially the thighs, are far too large; the arms too short; the waist too skinny; and the head angle doesn't quite match the way the hair is sitting, I think. There's plenty of anatomy resources on the forum, or a good reference image should set you straight.

The thighs are huge.... almost man-like. Same with the arms and hands. I just don't feel it there.

Are you going for muscular? Female-muscular is much different than male-muscular.

I like the general direction though. Very cool. I like the pallette a lot.

Hey thanks so much for your comments and suggestions. I'll see to it that I get those problems fixed. The arms were the biggest problem for me. I actually resized the right arm but it still didn't feel right. The left arm was supposed to look foreshortened heading away from the viewer but the hand makes it look like the arm should be in profile view. The legs, well, that was what I wanted :) I love chicks with plenty of leg--however I'll get that repaired as well to look a bit more proportionate. I am quite surprised to get more reactions towards the girl's anatomy than the colors actually! I'm red-green colorblind--I've proven that to myself numerous times on repeatedly failing the color dot tests! I struggle with color immensely, so I'm very happy that this was the least of my worries! Thanks again!

Erm, in term of color, it's alright I think. Just that the girl might receives more red light from the sky rather than white, same goes the floor.

Ok that's true. I had earlier placed a big flame in front of her as a seperate layer and that light bounced on her making her look too yellow. I then removed that flame and found that I had painted directly on her skin rather than on a--safer--seperate layer. Adjusting all of that I felt I lost sight of the lighting and kinda gave up. However, thanks to your comments I'll find motivation again to fix that too. Thanks!
