I haven\'t solicited comments in a while (probably why I haven\'t gotten any in a while), but here goes:

Hi Jubilee,
Taking a closer look at this one, there is a lot of good work here. The face looks really nice, although could use a touch more contrast to define it. Also larger photos would help!
I think the may thing that I dislike is that light purple color of the legs and gloves. I don\'t think it goes very well with green and generally looks fairly flat. You have a nice green/black theme with yellow highlights and the purple seems to break that up. If you use even a darker color or a neutral color it would help balance things. As it is the eye is drawn to the purple, if they were much less eye-catching the eye would move up to the face, which is a good thing!
I like your base as well, and your blacks have a nice quality to them, almost looks like a black dress with a very thin sheer fabric over it...
I think the hair could use a slight highlight, it looks a touch flat.
Ok, there are my thoughts in no particular order, I hope it helps some

PS I gave her a 7, for big potential shown here!

Thanks for the comments, Eric..
Funny you should say that about the hair.. everyone is always saying \"more highlights on the hair!\" and this time I genuinely thought I had done more, and it looks okay in person.. I think I just can\'t photograph black hair! back to the drawing board...
The dress actually isn\'t black on purpose--I used the purple 3 color system from Reaper Master Paints for it.. the darkest color is pretty dark though.
The lighter purple is supposed to be just a lighter version of the dress.. didn\'t turn out as well as I wanted..
I think I am the only person in the world who feels this way--but I really like purple and green together..
It\'s hard to get big enough photos with additional angles that will fit under 100k for posting at CMON.. Is it better to have 1 larger photo, or several smaller ones?

I would say that over all it is a good peice. I might consider highlighting the dress a little more and maybe shading the gloves and stockings a little more.
I personally don\'t mind the green cloak, she is after all a Wood Elf. The one thing I might do differently would be the boots, they seem to over do the green for me.
While I would like a larger picture I do like to see the different angles as well. Maybe one big picture with a few select images from the different angles cropped in.
