Description

This was going to be for a contest that was closed due to the artist holding turning out to be an art thief. I based this character design off of a character drawn by this artist: [link]

I can't find the picture of the girl this was supposed to be of, but I still want you to know that I am not taking credit for the character design... only my interpretation of it and my personal composition.

...

I had a heck of a time with the lips... I wanted to do more detailed lips and I think I redrew them at least seven times because I kept messing them up with the details... but I think I got them right. Anyway, she is supposed to be a protector of the forest.

Hope you like it. ^^

I think my favorite thing about this picture is the greenish yellow light that is coming off the firefly. It creates a mysterious/enchanting feel.

I like the hair, but I think you need to put a little lighting on the hair that is closest to her face. It looks weird that her face is lit up and her hair is pitch black.

Another thing I notice is the skin. The lighting is good, nothing wrong that I can see, but the shading on her left side where to hair is somewhat in her face. There's a big dark splotch and then a slightly shaded area. I think that part needs to be shaded darker or you need to tone down the dark splotch.

Background is great, simple so it's not distracting from the focus.
