A Pirate's Life For Me!

Finally I finished the pirate-girl!!!
I've been working on this for a long time..... but I just wanted it to look special and natural!
Again I used my 2-in-1-style which I still find really a great challenge and it seems it worked out pretty fine again.
I really loved working on this one and did some experiments with the colours, I wanted it all to match perfectly together and have put a lot of effort in it.
I don't know the girl, I know she is named "Kirsty Hume" and I found her on celebscentral.net, where I immediately fell in love with the photoshoot!

Waida 21 Jan 06 - 09.30am	Got nothing left to say ..you have all the compliments ..gosh! i'm amaze! bravo! Reply from blush :D Thank you very much! And for the fav too! :D
Chloe 21 Jan 06 - 04.53am	haha this is awesome! i love the shirt <3 i think the hair could use some more darker layers; it looks a little flat compared to the shirt. actually, if you used less depth on the shirt, the "flat-ness" would work really well. but it's still realyl cool, and i love the lace.. gosh that looks like it must've been hell :/ btw, what's your 2-in-1 style? Reply from Hi Chloe! Thanks a lot for your honest advice! I really appreciate that! :D I should have done more with the depth, but I wanted to have differences in that, so I guess it's allright! ;) And, well, I wouldn't call it hell, because I really enjoyed working on this, but yes, it took me a loooooong time to finish! :D My 2-in-1-style is what I have been using lately. It means my older "symplicity and cartoonish" style combined with my newer "realistic" style, I think they match pretty good together. Thanks again sweety! :D
