Very dramatic!! IMO I would darken the umbrella a little more to keep with the mood of the image....Nice work author and Best of Luck

I agree with Christy, a darker umbrella, with the color matching the dress would be still more beautiful.

Her hair is too fluffy for being in a downpour like that...

Why not put her umbrella above her head? It would make the dry hair seem more realistic. However, it's a great idea and I like the difference with the red tones and the grayscale so good luck!

Thanks for your suggestions. May pic look better now. Your idea's good jawshoewhah..but I'll try it in near future.

NICE JOB ON THIS!!!!

only nitpick with this entry is maybe the size of the umbrella but still a creative take on the theme. GL!

thanks Jawshoewhah! is the size of the umbrella small or big????

nice creation ..........

well done author...i like it..

Quite an interesting graphic feel. Very original way of presenting it! Great!

I thought it was a little small but it's so surreal already, it doesn't really matter.

Same answer. GL!

Very dreamy and movie...y...lol. Nice colors. I like it!

i really love this one

very very cool work author...GL

Very cute, would be perfect for childrens book illustration = )

You should name it: " Hey! My eyes are over here, okay !?"

ROFL @ previous comment. Try to get the eyes level.

Yeah they do kinda stand out and say HELLO and I don't mean the eyes

@ greymval ...

Great ... the eyes I mean!

Is it me, or is it a little nipply in here? Great idea. IMHO, her head is a little small, compared to her...body. Good luck author.

Master piece IMHO...well done author

Thanks for Your comments and votes.

We usually take that skin make layers then Ctrl T Distort, warp until it looks right. Some of us even use liquify to put the texture in shape.
Then we make like 2 layers : one shadow, one highlights, create them as clipping and paint in them with black and white. One is overlayed the other is screened or we just play with the opacity of them.

Some use burn/ doge but that's a bit to permanent.
That reptile is so good!!! you could use it's spikes to make hair for your girl, a mohawk maybe

Not bad.
