Aah, this is so gorgeous and professional--at first glance, I thought it was a book cover!

My one thing with this image is that it looks like her hand is as big as her head...methinks it shouldn't look like it would completely engulf her head...other than that, i like

Yeah I can see that. Hands should be about the length from the bottom of the chin to the hairline. I measured her hand to be about that length, but I understand that it still appears a tad large. (Also girls are expected to have small, dainty hands, so they stand out if they don't conform to that standard.) Thank you for the comment; I'll try to be more careful with the size of the hands in the future! ^^

Wonderful modeling here. How many hours do you estimate you worked on this? Also, was the background a manipulation of a photo?

*dierat Oct 8, 2011

Omg, I have no idea how much time I dumped into this, heh. I basically did the whole thing twice because half-way through I realized I didn't like anything about it. And no, the background is all painted. You can see some of the progress of this image in this thread: [link]
