A try for a cover illustration.

That's great. Nice texture, and I like the colours.

It does feel like she doesn't have a right eye though. (EDIT: she does now!)

I like this too, great design and colors!

some suggestions: it feels a little over-textured, I count three, wood grain, brick and the diamond stamp. If you can, tone down at least one, especially as it is flattening her portrait.

now, I'm assuming this is Vertigo comic's Death; if so, I would suggest giving her the hint of a smile. My favorite part of that character is her warmth, very anti-grim reaper.

very cool! I just checked out your site and you got some really stylish and refreshing stuff on there. It's great to see a rough and simplistic technique executed so well and effectively. This piece is great as well. I love the tiled look and the brush strokes and solid values. You've implemented a great Asian feel to it quite successfully.

I have one suggestion however; refering to the placement of her left eye (our right) I think realistically we'd be able to at least the bottom corner of her right eye, certainly some of that red eye-shadow would be visable. It seems like a stylistic decision you made to only reveal one eye and it looks great so by just bringing a little more hair in you have an easy fix without losing that great effect. This is a minor point and certainlay not a detractor.

Awesome work.

Wicked! red is my favorite colour, its so dynamic. It really brings contrast and life into this image. I love it!
