Hey beautiful people, thanks for all the compliments lately! It's really been helping me keep a super upbeat mood! 
Sam, thanks a lot for the paint over! I was going for a very vertical composition but it wasn't working very well and just came off as very cramped(like you said.) In retrospect I think it was because I was trying to keep her "in the canvas" rather then letting her crop out of it comfortably. And you raised a good point with the hair as well. I was thinking of it as very thin and straight as it went over the face, but no where else on the head so it seemed very out of place.
On another noooooote. When I scale down my images so they aren't fucking massive, they get really really sharp and it changes how the final looks. Sometimes I apply a soft blur but it still looks worse overall. Anyone else have this problem or do I just not know how to properly scale down so it doesn't fuck it all up?
Another WIP
