Whites are a bit blown out in the final version, but at least the tattoo is gone!

I wanted the whites to be blown out, it was an artistic choice

Author, just my opinion. It's still a nice image.
(Especially without the tattoo!).

No offense taken I certainly appreciate your opinion and feed back!!

Very nice final image here, author.

the face... not very fairy-like can make into a lady?

Lovely work! Best of luck author!

I like this one, cool illustrator pieces and interesting effects to her arms.

Very lively.... One of my faves.... GL

Many thanks for the nice comments and support

whole lot of fun!!!

The neck area looks kind of wonky - The really dark shape beneath the head makes it look like the head is floating, and it doesn't look at all like a shadow...Nice job on the background!

Very good

The general mood, the colors and theme is nice, it's some details which could make the entry more finished. That's imo mostly the hair, that looks a bit too roughly drawn compared to the more clean rest of the images. Pay a bit longer attention to it, perhaps you can add a blending layer (with mode multiply) to make the dark parts a bit darker so the hair looks somewhat more smooth. Or just use a tinier brush to get thát detail which make the image more like a whole. Same story would be for the strings. Perhaps here and there the edges from the suit can be a bit softer too. But for the rest I'd think that Tim Burton would like this .
@Mossy: not sure, but maybe the dark shape you mention is not necessarely a shadow but some kind of necklace?
Author, good luck!

Other than maybe make the right side of the head the same shape of the left (since she's staring strait out) it looks like her head is deformed but other than that, this is still one of the best entries I've seen. Fix that and I think you just might have a winner. GL!

I tried to fix the most critical parts, really thanks for you guys for making me know.

with few little adjustments this could be a fantastic image(mostly the hair)..but having said that, i really like it..the mood is great..goes to my fav's..good luck!

I really like this image! I couldn't really tell what was on the right side of her untill about the 5th look. Also not sure why you added an sbs with just one background image?

like the concept very much..., good luck author

love this, good luck!!!

Gruesome little thing isn't she. Has a very doll-like quality to her which makes it more impressive considering the scissors and the clothsline! Love the concept!

congrats on a well deserved 1st place

Congrats for the first place !

Congrats, this is really creepy

congrats very nice work.

congratulations...

Congrats!!

congratulations...

Congratulations darling, you deserve it!

I love these old images. There is still some black in her dress, in front and the bow on the back.. Also on her head. These are hard to colorize because of the quality of the images. Nicely done.

very nice work author...this one is hard IMHO but u did it...very nice,really really...GL

gud work author

one thing about the older images, yes..they are hard to colorize..but!!! you could really bring out some more bits of the veil by changing the opacity of your brush when you are painting it in. color the background the color you want it, then paint over the veil with the low opacity and then blur your color in so it softens it.
You picked awesome colors in this one..i love how it really modernizes her look. maybe play with the skin tones a tiny bit because they are a bit yellow here... but..otherwise.. Good Luck!

Well well well, the prodigy returns. I had no clue it was you. Well done!
