[BARONTiERi]

after a sketch made about a year ago, now updated thanks to PS8, just to play with textures and colors.

beautiful work man, I've always been a fan since i saw your work on the design studio press forum. How much different is PS8 from 7?

BARONTiERi,
I like this a lot and can only find a few minor details to change. I would add a few more green-backlight highlights, it really works well in her hair, but maybe a little more. Since she has blue fingernails and cufflinks on all the white, maybe the skull hair bow should be white.

As far as balance goes... You have a lot of detail around the head area of course, but it doesn't help that the most background detail is also behind the head. Makes it a little top heavy or something, just too busy up there.. Move some background detail down to the bottom left if you ask me.. But still, better than anything I have ever done on a computer. Really cool stuff.

cool! i think the face looks a little off but the bidy and hands look great

looks great the blue draws out her head and her hands from the white, the background really enhances the pick,,,,, great stuff
one thing, whats chitin?

[BARONTiERi]

thanks dudes, apparently the background bothers a lot of people so I might try to change it a bit though.
the chitin suit is still white cause I wanted to keep a contrast between a polished area and the sketch itself... I should leave more white area on the bottom cause you're right dcv3r, there is a balance issue there.
