Lovely! You made her pretty, but evil at the same time. Pretty pretty flowers. Nice!

[AntiMatty]

[remoraz]

like the sketch and colors

[Kilbourne]

great coloring, especially the flowers.

the eyes are great, almost too slanted, but otherwise great. good focus on the viewer

I was checking out your other work .. I especially like this piece. The style you convey .. its captures color and light to the point where it could hold my interest for hours (and that's saying something). Keep it up, you are very talented.

Really magnetic gaze, perfect hit the center of the character. So sexy flower!

very sweet piece, cris.
the coloring and rendering seems a bit flat, though.
perhaps it all could use some more work in that aspect?

(my humble 2 cents)
:)

Very nice painting and good composition. Her eyes are very slanted though. Seeing her outside of that position or in real life would draw stares I'd say for the extreme angle of her eyes.

The sketch is just wonderful. The coloring on the finished painting isn't as strong as that great line work, though.

Two things struck me:
1) There's something about how the secondary figure is such a warm tone that makes it come forward and compete with the main bust. Consider making the secondary figure darker, and closer to the main figure's hair so that it blends into the background and lets the viewer focus on the eyes.

2) The pink flower in the foreground similarly overpowers the main figure. Doesn't seem like it should be such a focus. Knocking the color/saturation back a few steps would help, again, to keep the focus on the main figure.
