Into the Woods - Finished?

Oiy, she was giving me some trouble there for a bit, but...I think I'm "finished". That is to say, now I go work on the website code/layout, and as I stare at her I'll probably find stuff to nit-pick about. But, by and large, I think she's close enough.  

c/c 4 is welcome, since this one will be staring folks in the face for years to come over at eqcrescent.com :)

This is absolutely ethereal!  The way you captured the light and the entire *feel* of the image is beautiful!  So painterly and lovely :D  The ooooonly nitpick I would have is that the deep shadow around her eye seems a little out of place, as there is no shadow that black anywhere else on her.  However, it does make the gleam of her eye "pop" so maybe it's a silly nitpick :)   (...but holy cow is that lighting spectacular!!)

I...agree. I was torn. I really liked the look of the eye, but I knew it didn't really compliment the shading.   Maybe at some point I'll play around with how it looks if I scale back the heavy eyeliner. :D

And thank you!

Like I said, the darkness of the shadow really does make her eye shimmer... it was definitely not a make-or-break nitpick, but you had asked for CC's and that's the only thing I could come up with!

Also, I find that with most (if not every) image I make or see, there is always one special spot that just grabs me, one area that just draws me (not counting compositional elements *intended* to draw the eye somewhere)... am I making sense?  Anyways.  In this pic it's the small of Crescent's back.  The modelling and light all come together for a beautiful (and sexy!) rendering.  The entire image is wonderful, but I thought I'd point out my weird "point"-ism. :D

Gorgeous! You truly are a master of color! The atmosphere is so beautiful. Love the cool night/woods feel. I can almost smell the water! ;-) Very nice leaf-shading on Crescent, too!

Oh my goodness.
The atmosphere, the colours, the light... gah! Beautiful!

*lost for words*

...

Like Joyrider, the ONLY thing I could put my finger on, is the area around her eye. Perhaps a bit dark to be realistic. But then again, it REALLY makes here eye stand out (it's like she's looking right at me!), and, well... it's Elfquest! Artistic freedom is allowed.

wow! nice feel of depth in this, I can almost feel the night breeze, and smell the water... I just love pictures with deep shadows and a nightly theme...
