At last, a pictue of my favourite mad half-elven bard that really gets across her attitude. It's also the first completely photoshop created picture I've ever finished, so I would really appreaciate some feedback on it. This picture was updated in February 2003 with a black backgroud instead of the previous white. Hopefully it's an improvement, but I really couldn't be bothered to do a proper background so it'll have to do.

Are you sure this isn't a photograph? It looks very real....

I love the hair, and nice pose too.
Cool tattoos.

I think there is nothing wrong with this pic, and not all art has to have a background, it might even be better to keep it background-less, sometimes that's better. In this case, I think it should stay without background. But if you really want to, then how about just doing a wall or something simple? Cuz she should stay the vocal point of the picture...She's beautiful.
Great art, keep it up!

I was thinking background for her too, but not really a *background* just like gradient colors, or something other than -white-. I was also thinking sensual. And i was also thinking about the beautiful details, again. Her hair is really amazing. And the whole thing. Fabulous pose. Perfect proportions. And everything else... It's all good. Completely photoshop eh? It's awesome.

Beautiful work. Very sensuous lines to her back. I've never even attempted to do a pic completely in Photoshop. Looks great tome.

That's one of the loveliest photoshop pictures I've ever seen. The hair is fantastic, the flesh tones more so, and the distinctive tattoos are wonderful points of interest. It's astonishing how natural it looks, given that it was made in Photoshop.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous pic!
I can't believe how realistic this looks given that it was done in Photoshop, it /does/ look like a photograph.
If you could possibly find some time to e-mail me tips on using photoshop, or recommend a book or tutorial or something that would be awesome.
Again, just absolutely beautiful!

If not already, a professional career should await you shortly. This is almost photorealistic. Your sense or proportion, structure, color and composition is just right at the edge of professional quality. I've seen album covers and novel covers that were not as well done as this.

There is some warm feeling in this image which makes it amazing, and the black background adds to that - keep it! You could add some lighting around her with a low-pressure airbrush in Photoshop...
Anyway, I used that painting in my Tattoos tour. I hope you don't mind, please reply me...
