Well i would suggest you do something about the background - find a jungle pic or something related to parrots, put her in a cage.., idk, you get the idea

cool funny work...gl

At first glance I couldn't see it was a flower. But nice idea

i think it will delete such as every time
a lot of pic delete

the matter is that the process can learn something, I think.

It is too bright and saturated to be looked at for more than 3 seconds, to be honest. Sorry.

thanks valvaneda and syntek
i try to do better next time

Good color work.
(Since the light on the face is from left, maybe shade the headdress thing accordingly...).

Wow, beautiful, and beautifully done. She really does look african! I love the background as well. This is a beautiful image

thanks for your comments, yes CMYK I will change the lights and other more, the african look (skin) I did it from just layers, no painting.

Oh really? Well that is just great! This would have been a fantastic entry for a very old contest where you had to change the ethnicity of a person. But any, this is still a fantastic entry

i like this Author great job

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes this is a fantastic entry. Great job.

it is realy good work

Good, good, good & convincing

The skin tone is excellent

Very well done and what everyone else said!

Colorful and dynamic! She's a beautiful afro-niponic girl (or nipo-african).

Very creative to change her race, and 'arty' with the camo-colored paint spatters.

Great work author...well done author

GREAT!!!! I love it! GL

This is really sweet! Good SBS, too...but IMHO step 10 is overkill. Step 9 looks great.

Stunning work. All that time with the pen tool paid off, this is awesome!

Really great job! Very nicely put together..

Wow! Just curious, how much time did it took you to so this? Seems like hard work.

Thanks everyone, Arca yeah my friend was very excited! and Greymval it definitely was a lot of work! I kept coming back to it for about three days before I was satisfied

fantastic work author.... Superb entry

WOW, Great work!

Wow!!! Love this creation. I will have to try to do this with my picture one day. The little stars are a perfect touch, and I like that her eyes are closed, just magic all around.

This is absolutely beautiful. I love how it looks like she's porceline. Its so smooth and shiny looking! The colors are magnificant. Great, great job, author. I too want to try this someday
