amazing...

The creation of the background is awesome as is the cutout of the figure with her boa and the recoloring of her dress.

I do feel her shadow is much too strong given the light on her face, however. And stage lighting in general tries to minimize shadows. I suggest boosting the highlights on her like she's being spotlit from the right (which would make her stand out more) and then balancing the shadow intensity accordingly considering an apparently well-lit stage.

Also, the shoe reflection is too intense and I don't think it would show through the shadow.

Nicely done

ah wow. my favorite. I love your colouring, clean & simple scene, nice and 'catchy'. very well done.

Congrats Loyd fabulous work, the curtain is great

Wow... I was going to complain about the lack of sources, then I saw that you made it all yourself ._.
Great job!

The edge of her left leg needs refining.

Check the layer masking all the way around, the black background makes the lighter edges show.

Alright I fixed it to my best ability, thanks for the advice.

i love your fire. how did you do it ?
