I've been yearning for this effect for so long, it's semi-realism; which accounts for the reason why the skin is so overtedly smooth, and thats how I want it. I think I finally nailed it this time! :D As you can tell it's not finished, but I'll keep updating as I progress further. I really like the results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

edit : For those who haven't seen the first versions \/.

 

 

 

Version1

 

 

 

Version2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[edit] :Crispened everything, removed disorientated areas, added petals for perspective and depth. It's not really finished but I've lost the will to go on :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reference was used for this. And once again it was just me and my mouse (brush), I'll get that tablet one day lol, or so I keep telling myself.

 

 

 

Anyway I'd like some C&C, comments or ratings :)

wow! that's really good!

Wow... Just wow

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is amazing :shock:

looks really cool, hard to tell if it's super-awesome (which it probably is) if you haven't seen all the attempts which led to this, though :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

can't wait to see the finished result.

thats one of the hotest pixels i have eva seen :) great job m8

Amazing :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd love to C/c this, but I just can't. I just think it looks beatuiful, except for the fact that I'm not so in to Asian chicks :S

I hope you don't get this the wrong way, but the lips drew me in right away. The highlighting on them is perfect...just perfect. Anxious to see this as it gets updated.

Lolol, pixels? Harhar, you mean brushings right?

I think this is the final update, I've lost the will to go on :P . Final comments everyone, it would be greatly appreciated.

Double post :P My first ever :shock:

niiiiishh. I like it a lot now, dress is much better. Great job.

I my monitor just really bright that it seems that the dress is kinda non existant? well i can see the line on her chest where it would start, but the it just kinda fades out......maybe this is how its supposed to be, in which you did a great job. either that, or i gota adjust my monitor :P

sry lag

I have to be honest, when I saw this in its beginning stages I didn't want to post; I thought my honesty would compromise our friendship. :P Ok well it wasn't that bad, but I felt it needed alot of work. I look at it now though, and I must say that my jaw is on the floor and I can't pick it up. That's phenomenal, it'd be a challenge to do that even with a tablet.... Keep up the great work, you never cease to amaze.

actually I like the subtlety of it. It doesn't distract from the main focus of the face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Incidentally froth, since I am working on my own brushing given folks determination that my brushes are too soft....what brush settings do you use for each stage?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What hardness? saturation? opacity? etc. Which ones for the initial areas, or highlights etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I understand if you don't want to answer..but I would appreciate it if you did!
