Well, I would look into giving it some hard, defined edges. My method's usually a tiny brush of the same color along the edge. If that crispness of the face is given periodically into some of the major points of the design. Not all edges, mind, because that will force a 2-D aspect into it, but a few defined edges in key areas will help make this pop just that much more

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave where you arrive safely in a beautiful and well preserved body. I want to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body worn out, and screaming "HOT DAMN what a ride!"

thanx will do

i would say just put her in proportion...

sounds good any areas in particular stand out to you?

well, i think that her head is too small and her hips are too wide...but that could just be your style, so who am i to judge!

its no prob, don't think of it as judging but critiquing which naturally comes with sum personal preferences, thanx for the feedback i might give that a go after converting her down to 72 dpi from the current 300dpi wip

cool, just glad to help!

Hey, not too bad. I agree with some hard edges, make her edges a bit more defined without touching the bg as this will help her stand out. maybe add some contrast and a bit more saturation to her, not over the top tho. is the side of her head shaved?? it looks it, and she also looks a little old in the face (for me) on purpose?? also round off the bottom of her breast a little, it looks a bit square. Her dress is pretty tight, maybe add a bit of a light shadow area around her belly button. Where the lights are, maybe make them a little bright where they start and fade them off to what they currently are, and maybe make it bleed over her waist, if you get me. Her collar bones are too defined. maybe smooth them off a bit, and lighten the dark shadow areas from there too.

Hope this helps
