Trying some stuff in post pro.
The main image was done by rendering twice. Once normally, and once in sketch designer. I overlayed the sketch over the original in PS7 and played with layer blending a bit.
Also playing with the "Fur" filter from Eye Candy for the hair which, believe it or not, is just the "Long Conform Curls" with the material colors tweeked a bit.
I would appreciate any criticism (constructive or otherwise).
Well first off it's a great image, i like her pose and face. Nice work on the hair too. Interesting postwork, i think you got more nuances on her skin than normally, wich is great. The only thing that i would shange it the parting in her hair. It looks a little sharp were it meets in the forehead.
Post work is where I always get hung up..
those long conforming curls are a challenge,
when I`m not lazy...I might use some light smudge
to softin the hair line.
But I`ve been very lazy these days.
I like this image, it her eyes that tantalize me!
