Character : Female Face : "Juiced TRANSITION"

[William b. Hand]

This began as an airbrushed piece, and now I'm tweaking it in Photoshop...
Still a bit more I'll be doing on it -- Probably more vapour, and further detailing of the dark veining/cracking.
Oh, and I'll be removing those little colour squares. :D
Thought I'd get some feedback prior to wrapping it up.

Wow, nice colors, great texture. Big beautiful eyes!

the bridge of her nose looks barely defined. It almost looks like the tip of her nose comes out of nowhere. is that intentional?

And it sorta looks like she has a fat lip (the lower lip). maybe lessen that highlight and move it around a bit to the left to pull the lip back into place.

but don't mind me. I'm just an amateur who loves this face. :)

Thanks, adien!
Good crits! You're right about the bridge of the nose... I think I'll have to explore that area further. As for the lower lip... hm, yeah I think i see what you're saying there. I'll keep that in mind and maybe do something different with that area, per your suggestion.

Fleshing out the bridge is probably also gonna lead to some tweaking of the eyebrows... Hm... Yuh, okay, you got me thinkin' about some things that had become invisible. Coool.
:chug:

Exelent, man! Do you use real (no computer) air brush?
Maybe some depness in shadows in lower part of img will make better look.

Right, Danilo- regular old airbrushed (Paasche) acrylic painting that I photographed, scanned in, and cleaned up in Photoshop.

What I did:
I had to move the right eye up or down a bit (don't remember which direction)... also the nose and mouth needed to be moved and rotated somewhat, and the iris and sclera had to be cleaned up... crispened up... And I punched up the saturation on the colours, and just general cleaning.

I gotta get back to my airbrushing... been too long in the computer :)

i just wanted to say waaaauuuuu it
really rocks, i would love to have a poster with that image on my room man great job =)

Wow, great eyes.
I would say that you need to define and sharpen the edges on to rest of the piece. The eyes realy feel completely seperate.
Also you might want to try an alternate version and play up the doll like aspect of her. Make her skin more like porcelain; shiny and rounded with more defined cracks.
