Hey, this is my first piece in a while. I tried to put some symbolism into it, but it probably won't show much until I finish the piece. I'm trying to make the flesh look cold and damp yet soft; almost ghoulish, but not so disturbing that the girl looks dead or anything. The girl should look very pale actually. Right now I guess I have a sort of yellowish tone to it. Would pale skin reflect all the green in the jungle like this? The Carapace should be shiney when it's finished, with cracks, and signs of wear all over. Any crits so far? I really need help on the flesh, otherwise, I'll probably end up making it plastic-like somehow. Thanks!

I'm in such a pissed off mood today. This is closer to what I wanted for the atmosphere of the piece, but I was in too good of a mood then to do it right:

I really like it so far!
The athmospere is great and the colors also.

You impoved.Tthe face, looks much better now.
But more angry - what you wanted I think.

Her right feet is too thin.
And I am not sure with the dark BG.
In the first pic it's much brighter which I liked more...well

Anyway, god job!

Thanks Max.

Yea her feet are too thin, I think her thighs are too short as well. I did a fast rerender of her legs in the new version. Ah, now that I'm looking at it again, her front leg still seems to be too thin. I don't know about the brighter atmosphere, it seemed too walt disneyish to me.
here's the update:

i like the new tones and colors introduced in this latest one--except i think there's a large amount of black that is unecessary, also if theres that much black she wouldnt be luminated that much--the most important point i saw that you should fix is that it seems as though she's missing a whole section in her abdomen area--like right above her hip--or maybe she needs more hip--i don't know how to explain it but the waist line and her buttockz just needs to start lower

insider - yea, there was an excessive amount of black. The lighting was also kind of wierd, so I flipped the position of the moon. I'm not very sure what you mean by her having more of an abdomen area. I did lower her buttocks and her entire leg. It does look like she has a hip now. Thanks for the comments.

How's my lighting btw? Looks kind of awkward to me still.

Work on sketch more and use thumb nails to get feeling. You are too uncertain about the direction of this piece.

Here's the latest update. I tried to make it less cluttered by having more full, solid shapes of light and dark, rather than small patches here and there, also putting focus on the flesh tones. I also cleaned up a lot of the sketching. Comments? People might want to brighten their monitors if this seems too dark. Is it better to paint with a higher gamma, or a lower gamma?
