i think many things. perhaps you should be more specific.

I think..

I really like the glow on the wings. nice and goldy.

The lower part of the dress is a bit scary. loooks like tentacles. Perhaps what you were trying to do?

The floor is very nicely rendered.

My final thought though, is that the idea is sadly over-run. Ladies with mechanical wings, they just keep coming.
Hell, even ive done one!

My thoughts. But I do like the mood:)
She looks sad in a .. nice way.

In general, i like this piece, however, there are a few things wrong. First, the perspective on both wings doesn't seem right. They seem to be facing the same way, but not nesessarily with the direction of her body. You have wonderful detail on the face and hands not to mention good depth, but it seems lost in the dress and torso area, flat. To agree with Theo, that floor is well done also. That is what i thunk.

I know those wings...

nice work.

i had prolly made her right (our left) arm more blueish mabe with some subtle reads instead of yellowish.

u actually might try that change i think it would help a lot!

Thanks to those who critiqued. I did a new version, thanks to attackcat's observations, I like the new version better. I focused more on the paint quality and design in the new one. Tell me what you think- even if you "think many things".

Hhhmmm... If you took the wings away, it wouldn't change anything. See, I'm not sold on the necessity of the wings. How do they attach? How does she move around with such massive metal things on her back? And how do they move? And how does she fly? As there is no webbing, and they would be waaaay too heavy to get her off the ground. These are all design issues you may want to reconsider. The overall mood and rendering of the piece is very nice, but the design is sorely lacking. Also, her posture: she's standing as though those metal things aren't attached to her, which cancels out any believability. Anywho, that's my three cents, hope it helps. Peace

Definately like the second one better. It seems like you were more famiilar with the figure when you put it together, so you could lay down the strokes just where you wanted. Excellent color scheme too. Plus, I think she works better looking more like a fallen angel of sorts.
