Nice work

Good looking painting.

Interesting, but her necklace is off center to the rest of the image (her face and shirt).
Anatomically, her nose is a bit too long, with the tip too close to the lips and her eyes are too almond shaped (not the eyelids, but the eyeball beneath) - That can be adjusted with a wee bit more shading on the outer edges of the eyeballs, to give them a more spherical shape within the eye sockets.

Really excellent values on the shirt, and the hair is very well done!

Thanks, Mossyb.., i agree with the eyes.., and updated it. But if you have a closer look, you can see that the necklace is centered with the nose line, it is the shirt which is not centered with the face, and that makes the illusion according to your comment.. i placed the tip of the nose at center from chin to eyes (3/4 of the face) . And i can see it is the lips, that are a ittle away from the chin. More than 1/5. But, for this image it looks ok. (to me atleast.) i do had placed the lips a little downward. But that distracted the expressive look of the girl. so i am leaving it as it is.. Thanks again for your great comment...

And i found the problem of nose. It was some shading steokes that were on the right edge of the nose... Updated that too... Thanks again

This is just really well done. Rather eye candy to me. The only little suggestion I have is see if you might be able to put some definition on the center area of her nose. Right now to me it gets lost. Perhaps shade the right side just slightly darker from the middle of her nose to the right. I'm only suggesting this because I really like this and think it might help.

EDIT: Looks

wow wonderful job, u done it beautifully,skin tone,dress necklace everything is great .but i agree with kid about the shading on the sides of her nose.The shading on her shirt is great, some detailed explanation about the lighting and shading will be helpful to us(mean a tutorial). All the best to you author , you are talented high marks and fav from me

Nose updated.., thank you pixelkid

Great drawing skills author...her eyes are amazing...well done

wow beautiful work.... most detailed sbs!!! i am also impressed!! I have to try this one as i always want to learn portraits and hope u convert this into tutorial too!!

ofcourse nisha, you can see this as a tutorial this month..

thanks author

Very nice beautiful job!

One of the best SBS I've seen! = )

WOW...I agree with Emik...nice SBS...Spectacular Work author!

you are one of the real masters here,....instant fav this time and times to come for sure....:bow2b)

I'm having an annabat flash back.. LOL.. great job

Bravo on a wonderful painting and your SBS is incredible. Overall amazing job! A few things that I noticed in Hi Res ...IMO I do find the eyes a little too "symmetrical". Making them slightly different from each other would give the face more character ... also I think the eyes would benefit from tear ducts, inner lids (the part the eyelashes grow out of) and lower eyelashes. These are all very minor things, the image is truly lovely and has a style all it's own! High marks and definite fav!!!

just...WoW

Fantastic ! I'll fav this for reference down the road. GL

marvelous ......... really beautiful entry ..............

very nice machaaa!!!!!

Absolutely beautiful work, author.

Ditto Nisha, waiting forward to seeing your new tut!

Congrats on 2nd place, Anoop. Wow, this was a close contest.

well done.

Congratulations! Very close ... it is hard to compete with cute little creatures but you came soooo close!

Congrats!!

congratulation...

congrats

Congrats, keep working

Imaginative, but pretty lopsided as well.

There are some issues with perspective here, but I like the chop, and a good inage overall.

excellent construction

great one

I really love this idea and it could turn out great. But I agree with RayTedwell about the perspective, but that might just be an "easy" solve. Take the left "hip" light, although the leg is behind the right one, the light is bigger. You might want to change that and maybe you solved the biggest issue in perspective. I would also work on the right hand, now it seems attached to the body, try and soften the edge. You've put a lot of detail in the body, give the head some more detail, now it looks unfinished in comparison to the rest of the body. I hope you find the time to change these things, and let me know it my suggestions worked out, so I can learn as well I wish you the best of luck author, great job!

Nice idea and cool execution author! Floortje1973 gave some sound advice...but quite simply put...both feet are straight forward, but the Protector's right knee is facing away. This is what is making it look awkward to me. Great job using the source, though.

I like your changes author! It is so much better now, I see you did quit some changes, hand gone and just one light on the hips. Great job! @pixelkid has a point about the knee, but that does not bother me so much because the foot is twisted and not flat on the floor. There is a sense of movement in there. The head is better now, now it looks finished. I think it's fantastic you take comments and start working with the advice right away. Props for you author!

Agrees with people about the edit changes. It honestly just seems like it meeds some final details attended to. Some last minute smoothing and blending. Still a unique entry and I can still see the source without going to your SBS, so GL!

Nicely constructed.........G/L Author.

Amazing work author...Your work on a ground is perfect...whole construction is great but his legs are master piece...well done

Hey my friend, a second place is not bad at all. You mastered your entry. The effort you put into it, is reflected in the voting and the results of this contest. Congratulations Anoop!

Congrats for 2nd

Congratulatons, Anoop!

congrats Anoop

Congrats anoop! i thought it was a great use of source!

congrats on 2nd!!

congrats for introducing another character....

This is a beautiful entry.... you did a good job...(One of the best from you author, good luck!)

OMG This ROCKS! Certainly a fav in my book!! GL!

Oh ho ho... I must say top notch work!

I'm not a big fan of random imaginary creatures, but this guy is dynamic and well crafted - artistically rendered and foreshortened - beyond just slapping pieces parts together for a "cute", symmetrical character staring at me....again. I would like to see him in a scene of some type, but the background still works very nicely. Great job!

This so moved me author I am lighting one up as I type!!!!! wtg!

I wanna paint it!!!!

Nice work. Fix the disproportionate feet.

Thank you everybody..., @ pingenvy.., It is very nice to hear such words from a great artist like you.. I am really inspired.., @ cmyk.. Thank you verymuch for notifiying.., but as u can see in my sbs the back leg (right leg) was smaller than the current leg. And the disproportion was my intention..,

great creation !

Nice 1! GL!

Fab
