One thing that needs some adjusting is the hand on our right, the one farthest from us. Right now, we do not get the feeling that her fingers are wrapped around the staff because its shaft is almost higher than their tip. (see quick dirty sketch attached; not perfect, but still gets the point across, I hope)

Laid the groundwork to change the hand as you have, but more worried about the rest of the costume. Pretty much just going to cut and move the staff down and fill in the gaps.

Anyhow, final design and such before I clean up and add lines and make hand changes and whatever.

I want more flowy bits on her. Why do I like flowy bits lately? Oh lawd.

Looks lovely. The design of her outfit looks great, but I personally think the color scheme is a little too uniformly green, even with the red and gold accents. Maybe toss in a little more variation? Up to you and TrashMan, though. :)

Something in her face puts me off. I think it's the right (our right) side of her lower jaw.

I sorta see what you mean. I'll take another pass at it.

Mostly just wanted to let you know I am not blowing this off and have not forgotten or anything. The fan in my laptop died so I'm just waiting for the replacement to arrive so Photoshop doesn't melt my CPU.

So I'd like to apologize. I thought I posted this weeks ago. I hadn't gotten any emails or anything so I worked on other things and forgot about it. Here's Aquae.

Really awesome picture. There is an anatomical issue about the positioning on the front part of the bikini. You can see this actually in the very first b/w sketch. ( If you do not understand what I mean: Image yourself looking down on this lady exactly from above. Make a sketch))

The stray pixels around the staff are bugging me, but other than that it's a really good portrait.

Something still seems off....mostly her magic holding hand (seems a bit short) and her face.. I think hte black lines around her nose, mouth and eyes might be a bit too strong.
