You know I usually beg for comments, but this time I have a reason
This is a style test I did for the horror-stories-book gig I want to get. I didn't want to do anything too fancy, because I wanted to show the kind of work I can do in a very short time, but after finishing I looked at it again and panicked because I hated it. And I couldn't send it the way it was, so I bugged the hell outta *killskerry, ~ arwenita, *hollowone and *basakward all through the night, to get their opinion. And this is kinda what came out.
All comments are appreciated, if they're soon I can use them before I send it, if not I can use them if I get the job. If it's too negative I'll trash it and start over u3u
So this time C & C ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Disclaimer 1: I know the grass looks like crap, I tried to pull a windblown effect and it didn't work. Plus, I thought it would be interesting if the grass and the leaves blew in the opposite direction of her hair and dress, but now I realise it's too obscure U_U
Aw Wow! thisis amazing! this foarm of art always (and neverfails) Reminds me of Tim Burten or Joughnan Vasquez- awsome peace, I am loveing the gloomyness to this, well thats atleast what I see- this is amazing!-Midori
I don't think you should change a thing. Her expression is perfect and her eyes looks so empty and lost. The only thing that looks a little strange is the grass. It kinda looks like the wind is blowing it in a different direction than her hair.
Shoot I wish I could see the whole thing in one frame -_-
I would say consider some darker areas, right now the background seems to be lacking in contrast . . however this could be because I can't see the bottom and top of the picture as one unit. The grass up front seems to have a better range of contrast.
Perhaps also expirement (on something else!) with how dry brush might make the tree look. It might add some interesting texture into this picture, which otherwise has some fairly even texture to it.
Also, if you ahve a computer program, you could scan this in and see if placing any of the redish color toward the center might help move the eye around. Right now, the red seems concentrated all toward the middle (well stretching across the middle, but still it feels confined) Again, though, that could just be a symptom as my inability to see the picture all at one and not an actual composition problem.
Other that, I realy can't think of anything, even those are more suggestions to try. I'm not sure if they'd make it any better. Just whatever you do, don't give that girl pupils. She looks awesome without them. Heck don't touch her at all. You've got a lot of great, clean brush work on her and she looks just fine. I love the darker area under her eyes. It's a great touch!

Enjoying the Spenders of Real Suger..

she's a very spooky figure. she fits perfectly into the background you've created for her
even her hair has an eerie flow about it
the red in the leaves balances the firey colour of her hair.
awesome composition.
the whole piece is gorgeous dude
