Nice. :)
My only suggestion is to darken the green around the left eye... It seems too bright considering the shadows. There should probably be some more shadows on the skin around the lips as well.
For some reason, my favourite part is the snakes head. I just wanna stroke it. :P

i know you already worked your butt off and probably wont want to edit it, but you said critique was welcome, sooo...
for the hair, you pretty much have two shades: dark color and lighter color. i would suggest adding more strands of the lighter color and lowering the opacity, and adding strands of even lighter color.
the hair around teh ear is great; i dont know why you dont like it. the eyebrows shoudl be thinner, however. rings & necklaces look a bit flat; i'm not sure why though.
overall, i think it's great and i love hte theme!! i love your creativity <3

Thank you for the feedback :) I think I might try using gradients for hair also, maybe that will make it easier for me. Either that or bald pictures of Natalie Portman.

I love the originality, the nose is beautiful I want to touch it, the snake is very original, the eyes are awesome also everything combines perfectly, 30 hours is too much but was worthwhile, you made a good work.

I hope to never spend so much time on a vexel again! :) Thank you so much for your comment.

I've bee watching your progressional and was actually scared that you wouldn'tfinish it. But luckily you did. :D The snake is what makes it so special, it's gorgeous. The skin looks almost real, there is so much detail. I believe you right away when you say it took you 30 hours. ;) I can see how much effort you put into it.. Though like Lilly already said, maybe you can add some darker shades to the necklace? But well.. it's already great this way. :)
Reply from
I think I am going to go back and edit it, add some darker shades, really make them look 3d. Thanks so much! :)

Hi rae! Everytime I see your work I'm so glad you're in my battleteam! Maybe I said that allready a thousand times, but well... I guess I'm your biggest fan! :D
For your next piece of work I suggest to start with the hair... so you could spend more time on it an maybe you'll be more patient and not like you said to leave it to the last and don't give a damn anymore! :D
Another tiny suggestion is a little more darker lines in the necklace to create a little more depth to it.
But it doens't bother me like it is, I really am in love with her face! I have been waiting to see it all done!! :D
You did so great on her nose, lips and eyes!! She has something mysterious and I really like that!!! There is nothing wrong with the ear! And well.. the snake... mmm... I don't know.... lol!!! just kidding! fabulous hunny! good work!!!

Thank you muchly for the suggestions, and Im totally glad you're on my team too!

It looks good :) I love the nose and the lips, they turned out so pretty and detailed! I really love how the lips are shining and how you made the teeth...and the snake is really hot! The ear is good as well. I'm not too fond of the hair, though, and how the face looks attached to the neck...maybe you made the neck too dark compared to the skin shading, I don't know. In my opinion you should have made it darker only under her chin, but you should have left a zone (like under her ear) where the face and neck colors were matching. The overall outcome is great anyway, I love the originality!

No, you're totally right about the neck and I agree. The original picture actually had a darker neck and I used brighter colors to make it not look as bad, but I should lighten them up a bit more. Thank you! :)

Very well done! The snake is gorgeous. You may get my vote. ;)
The nose is just amazing. I love the whole face actually. I agree with you on the hair, it's a little simple compered to the rest of the vexel, but anyways GREAT job on this! And thumbs up for creativity.
Reply from
Yea I love the nose, and I was afraid it was going to be too light in contrast to the rest of the face, but it turned out pretty nicely! Thanks :)

I think it looks fabulous. You're right the hair could use a bit better shading, but it's still amazing either way. I really wish that you kept the eye the way it was before. I loved it.

Thank you, I love the word fabulous ;)

Yay you're done, this turned out really nice. The snake is really impressive, what an imagination you must have :) I think the hair could be shaded more, but you seem to already know that. I understand that you'd want to just get the vexel over and done with after 30 hours of work. Besides that I think everything else is pretty. I'm glad you changed the eye make-up, imo it looks much better this way.
Reply from
Thanks! :) And yea Im glad I changed it too, even though one day I vow to make neon-yellow/green eyeshadow work.

I've been waiting for this! It turned out amazing! The snake is my favourite part.. all of those tiny little scales, you can just tell how much work you've put into it. I love that the eye shadow kind of matches the snake too. That nose is just magnificent.. I'm always awed by good noses because they're such intricate little things :D
Reply from
Omgosh I know I love the nose too, does that make me sound bad? :) Oh well. I expected this to be my 'masterpiece' and Im a bit disappointed, but I still proved to myself I could go this far, so now.. I just need to work on hair.

I agree with Teesha...although I didnt really notice the necklace until she mentioned it, so it doesnt stand out that much. I really like how you put the snake in there!!

I will right what I just wrote at dA...
This is marvelous Rae! I love it and I most definitely will vote for you just because its amazing and the most original. My favorite part of this would have to be the skin shading...particularly the nose are, it is so defined and awesome. I also love the sanke, its so real and just adds to the whole "ora" of this piece great Job!

Yay one vote, haha. You are sooooo sweet, thank you for both comments! :)

Reply from
Thank you! Originally for the necklace I wanted the bangles to look rounded, and I think that would've made it look better. Better luck next time, I guess :)
