Cyber-Girl WIP ++nudity++ (Crits...Please)

Ahhhh... It's been awhile since I painted. Playing videogames for a living will eat up all of your time!

I just wanted to get some input into this painting im currently working on in Oils. It's almost finished and I want to do a series of 3 to 5 all with interesting negative space and these robotic figures. I plan on leaving the backgrounds simple but I'm wondering if I should go more for colors seen in many digital artwork such as bengal's ladies (havnt seen many oils done in the same color scheme as 'digital colors') or stick with the more traditional style seen here.

heh, and when I mean 'simple' in backgrounds... i mean not painted in. But with large ammounts of pipes, valves, etc...

Those are some funky shoes! Nice colours, nice background. not too shure about her right breast, it seems too rigid... But I don't know much about anatomy anyway..:bashful: I say add some more colours to the background!

i think this is a very strong piece. the linework and level of detail are badass.

a few things that caught my eyes were; the lower arms are too small and the hair looks too rigid. also i would suggest to reconsider the cropping of her head.

LOVE the shoes...Wild Concept...great technical execution.

You should put the effort into completeing your backgrounds. This would be FF worthy if you follow through on it...

Well, Serpian, I sketched directly onto the artboard with my girlfriend lying across a couch, and that's how her breasts looked.

Looking at the arms in this format online, Ender, I should definitely make them larger for proportions. You are correct about the hair too. Thanks! It was bothering me so I need to 'loosen' it up. The head is being cropped due to the series. All of the images will be cropped so the subject matter isnt dead center... so parts will go off the edges.

Anyone else agree with madster? That I should complete the backgrounds? I originally for this series wanted to leave the backgrounds completely unpainted. Just with detailed lineart with the foreground subject painted. The thing is, i'm not an 'illustrator' per-se. I dont want these to be traditional illustrations but more visual icons.
Actually, now I'm thinking that the foreground women are too colorful and 'illustrative' kitch comic-book like and I should just paint them in monotone to the background. Any thoughts?

Looking good.
I like the idea of the plain coloured background, but it's too flat for it's own good. Visual icon or no, it looks wrong. The floor just dissolves away into nothing. What you need is a way to bring the floor out, but retain the blandness (that's the wrong word) of the whole background thing... which is where I run out of ideas... :( sorry...

(darken the base of the wall slightly? ... <goes to bed> )

Well, you cant see where the floor ends due to all of the spare parts lying about.
