I like it! It creeps me out because of where I must be "standing" in relation to you while viewing this piece, but nevertheless, I like it! :D

Nice brushwork and I like the point of view, the lighting, the palette, and the expressiveness of the eyes. I'm wondering though, if foreshortening might take the nipples a lot closer to your head though in real life? And the shoulder on the right (our right) seems like the trapezius is attached higher up than on the left.

Have you ever seen Promethius's tutorial page? Scroll about half way down this, and you will find two versions of a cute gal picture in black and white. I think the problems he describes in the first one are the ones this picture suffers (though your's isn't quite as bad off as his example).

First of all, if paint over is what i think it is, this is not paint over

and about the tutorial, I think your right, I should work it out, thnx for the enlightment :rendered:

It actually doesn't look finished. Not that I'm a great hand at being able to really bring that around, yet, either, but all of obvious sketchyness and dangling edges (your right shoulder, hair, etc) makes it seem about half done. The large brush comment was spot on. This is suffering from the strokes of a thousand tiny brushes. When you use brushes larger than you think you can handle, it gives you the liberty to go over the lines and then bring them back and start to really develop the painting.

A fair start, but not finished.

tnx for sharing :)

Good perspective and whatnot. I really think you should add some more colors to your hair, like you did with your facial hair. Right now it just looks like some sort of amorphous thing is on your head. Quick! It's crawling down your back!
