Rotohail:  Thank you!! Regarding Lady Justice, it's interesting to hear you prefer the more saturated version.  I have a tendency to oversaturate as many pointed out, so it's interesting to hear a different view!  And yes, the reason for the changes was to go for a more photo realistic look as well, which I think suits it more.  Regarding the inspiration, the image itself was inspired by 'Wonder Woman' the most I'd say!

Great point regarding the eyes on the portrait as well, great catch!  I believe I experimented with that light on the eyes like in the paintover/fix you posted, but it gave her a bit of an ominous look which I felt didn't suit the image at all, even though it would be technically correct.  So I admit I took some artistic license there!!!

Thanks again for the kind words and support, very much appreciate it! :)


jondawo: Thank you!!  Glad to hear you appreciate my color choices!  Regarding the smooth clean quality, that is very much intentional on my part.  I prefer a clean look to my illustrations, but I do admit I can overdo this.  I agree that it can benefit a bit more from texture work, so I'll try to incorporate more of that for future pieces!

Excellent point regarding the background on 'Justice', agree with you completely.  Might go back to it and blur it a bit to make it less harsh when I find the time.  Thanks for your honesty!!

I began the painting process on 'Cap', pretty pleased with how it's turning out so far. Using mostly hard edged brushes so far (except on the sky which was done primarily with soft brushes), I'm thinking of incorporating more texture with this piece so I'm going to play around with speckled brushes as I continue to work on it.  Any feedback is appreciated as always!!!
