Hey everyone, thanks for all the great words. I'll keep them all in mind.
In the morning I'll probably do a quick rework with what you all said and see where that leaves me. That being said I've been meaning to start another piece for awhile now, and I'm at the point where the idea for that piece is really clear now, and I've even started sketching. So I'll probably put my punk girl down for a day or two and start up that just to do something extremely different.
I appreciate all you've said, thanks for your time guys!
@EduardoGaray I did use reference here and there... but I think my problems were that I applied things wrong and lost my construction early on just to pre-render. Thanks man.
@Atrenr Super thanks for the paint overs! Yes, as I've been telling Shyam, I really need to work on my construction!!!!! I always jump in and render. Bad me! haha. And yes, I've been just looking at the piece too much, and will most likely take a day break. The arms! I was trying to create an interesting pose- didn't realize I had ripped her arms around though hah. I just knew it was awkward. I notice it a lot more now though. You're right that I've changed the concept. Mainly because I couldn't figure out exactly what I wanted to paint. I should've done a few more sketches... but now I have an archetype that I could paint, and hopefully it shows in the next draft. Thank you for this really great critique!!!
@AaronJordan Ah yes! Campbell is great, isn't he just? Yeah about the lighting- in my third one I actually completely moved the light last minute. I wanted there to be less black, the image felt flat. I painted a face with the lighting from that angle, but me not really that great with faces made it more masculine. Yes, some reference studies could help. Thanks for the critique! It helped!
@Ursula Yes, Perhaps I will rework the pose some more, espically after what AaronJordan said. Thanks man.
