Character 2D: Girl Beach

[Larsen]

Very soft, very nice painting.
I like a lot the face, maybe there's a little problem with the left hand but that's a great work :buttrock:

[flyingP]

Hey nice work, have to agree with cipher about her hand though.

[starqueen]

its looks photo referenced its so realistic, but her face seems so much more plain compared to her body. the cloth is awesome!! i wish the sand had more particles in it to be distinguishable

im just loving that cloth, haha, wow, that totally makes the picture

:D

[flashmind]

when I first looked at it, I thought it was a photo. I think the eyes need work and that's it. Then again I can't do anything nearly as good as this so great job anyways. :thumbsup:

[cbadger85]

it could be just me, but the body seems more blurred than the face.

[Larsen]

This is called depth of field ;)

Thnx a lot for your comments.

You are right about the left hand. It looks a bit strange.

I'm currently trying to find out the secret of lighting:)
It is still very difficult for me to paint in the correct colors.

Pretty nice. Looks totally Global Illuminated. I like the lighting very much.
Great work, what about an alien style next time?

Ok, it looks pretty good...however... the face.... I don't know about that. It almost looks like all you did was paint a face on top of a picture. It looks sorta "plactic-esque" if that is a real word. Don't get me wrong, the cloth and body look fine... however I just don't know about the face. Also... what is that by her cleavage line? All in all it does look good but needs some work.

[Goro]

thnx guys!
I know...there is something about the face. But
I can't figure it out.
I edited the lighting a little. May be it's a bit better now.

The face needs some more shadow to bring it alive compared to the bodie. Usally the face will be close to the same color as the bodie. The cleavage it just go dark black right away slow it down alittle. Great work all in all. As soon as you do some fix ups it will be an excellent piece of art.

hey, looks nice to me.
next time try to get more shadows, maybe your picture gets more
plastique and a bit more interesting. but this is already very cool.

Yeah but why would DOF be used to only focus the face of the subject in this manner? The face seems refined but the body seems very rushed. If it was used to hide the mistakes on the body I can understand that to a certain degree, but it is distracting.

Goro, is it possible to see your reference used along with some progress of the piece?

FACE LOOKS SORT OF LIKE SOME MASK HAS BEEN PUT.EYES ARE TOO DEEP.BODY AND FACE COLOUR ARE OFF.HAIR IS FINE.RECTIFY THE HAND.

[phoenix2k]

the picter overall is very nice, but i think the section around the eyes needs word... its a little too hard at the moment.

also the hand has a weird pose. it not natural that one finger is spread an the others are not. either al of them or none of them otherwise it looks unnatural.

great work overall though :) :thumbsup:

[Zanmato]

I like it but the face needs more contrast, too flat. It should be pretty darn perfect after that.

Keep it going. :thumbsup:

[cupcake]

Nice work.:beer:

[Ultragames]

Id like to see the original photo to compair it to. Nice job though. Left hand is off, as you know.

Ah, nice improvement. I love the texture of the cloth and the sand.

I agree with everyone on the face! :D

I was thinking, the face needs more different shades of color (light green and orange as well), and be more bold about using those colors.. just like you did with the arm in front, he looks great being that "sketchy." She's also missing some darker shadows around her nose, and her lips.

Otherwise..... very well done. O_O
