Finally finished!

I put alot of work into this piece. It is the first of my work that I would consider to be realism.
I started this April 3rd I think, and I started just because I thought the photo was amazing. I didnt think I would go as far as finishing, but after getting the skin done I thought I should put some more time into it. It was a terrible refrence photo from a wallpaper site, I think they may have blurred it to create the photo to be wallpaper size? I dont know but it was hard to create detail from a blurry refrence photo.
My favorite part is the eyes. I tried to make them stand out by using lighter colours for the skin and hair. The hair is my least favorite aspect of this and I will most likely change it after some time.

Thanks for posting in my Progression Thread, and for thoose that would like to see the original I have uploaded it Here

Edit> Fixed the hair (Thanks Karen)

lilvdzwan 9 Apr 06 - 07.51am	wow David, you really managed to work with that blurry original! I was waiting for you to finish, I just new it would turn out wonderful! I really love the colour of her skin! And you really managed to capture the expression on her face (which is actually none, lol) everything looks very smooth and so beautiful! great job! I really love it! Reply from Thank you! (:
Linda 9 Apr 06 - 03.10am	Ooh this turned out SO beautiful! The hair looks really good considering how it looked in the original. Good work :D edit: I think it doesn't look quite as realistic as the face but I think that's a good thing? It kind of makes it more interesting :) It's still beautiful hair! Reply from Thank you! I don't think the hair fits well with it, it doesn't really look very real. :shrug:

Carina 9 Apr 06 - 12.49am	Amazing.. I love the eyes. Reply from Thankyou (:
aisyah 8 Apr 06 - 11.11pm	This is amazing! I'm sure that you have spent so much time on the skin shading. It's so detailded sp as the hair. I like the way you did her hair. Execpt for the top forehead, the little strands don't look neat. My fav is the skin and the eyes. Btw, you could always sharpen the image using filters if you are using PS. Although it won't help that much but at least it does. Anyway you did a great job cough could you please make a skin's tut cough Reply from Thanks (: I don't really do anything too specific for skin, so im not sure how I would be able to create a tutorial.
^ffan 8 Apr 06 - 10.35pm	totally amazing vexel.. so NEAT, its worth spedning more time on little details.. Reply from Thanks (:
xKaren 8 Apr 06 - 10.29pm	Wow, great job David. The eyes are gorgeous! The only thing that bugs me about it is on the left cheek towards the bottom, there seems to be a piece of hair or something overlapping the curve of the cheek, and thats just annoying me :P But other than that, its absolutely amazing! coughcough Have you started working on the collab yet coughcough Reply from Thanks Karen (: I should fix that hair, thanks. I have like 3 shapes done on the collab lol... I'm going to work on it though (;

Kyla 8 Apr 06 - 10.01pm	wooo!! I'm so impressed you managed to make that blurry photo so perfect! I can't imagine how many layers you have, but wow, it's beautiful. I especially love the eyes and lips :) Reply from Thanks (: I am pretty dissapointed of the hair, but maybe sometime I wil try to make revisions or something
SoContagious 8 Apr 06 - 09.45pm	I love it! Very nice skin shading, and the lips and eyes are lovely <3 Reply from Thank-you (:
