The way the hair (?) or whatever it is looks like there was either a major turning the head a second ago or somebody or somethin is pulling it up. Makes it interresting. The texture of the skin looks either very muscular almost male, or deceaing.

Reminds me of swiss carneval. Maybe because of the icy rocks and the larve (wooden mask) she appears to wear.

I´d like to see the bg more detailed or stronger textured.

The only major thing to me is that there´s no skull big enough to hold any average brain. Must be a pretty plain girl, if you get my drift. The head looks almost like it´s cut of right below the eyes behind that mask. The space from eyey to the chin should at least be the same as from eyes to the top of the head, eh?

Up up, make the next!;)

wolf - thanks for replying. I'm not sure I understand why you see the head as cut almost below the eyes... maybe it has something to do with the lins of the hair and that the mask hides all the upperpart of the head. Don't know. :)

and yes... the next are underway :chug:

i think everything below the neck ids great---lot of little variation like phil hale, and a few others who i cant think of now. for some reason my eyes lose interest up at the mask and hair. maybe becuse the hair is so flat and those three streaks dont really do much for the form--if there were more detail in rendering the hair and maybe some subtle strokes for a sky i think it would be more balanced. good work---keep posting --ty
