::EDIT:: Added some more shadows... Previous version: [link] [It's a HUGE file btw]

I'm actually kinda proud of this one :] It came out as I wanted it to... too bad I couldn't think of a decent background ¬¬ ... Or a believable light source...
Ok, so it's got next to no artistic value but it was fun to make xD And I think there was some deep, awesome meaning behind it but I forgot ._.

Critique would be VERY appreciated e.e Even though it's "finished" I wouldn't mind tweaking it a little... or a lot xD

Nice! Great job on colouring the skin. with all the orange, pink and purple-ish tones :la:

if you want a little bit of advice on it, I'd suggest to make the hair a little less "solid bulk" and try to merge it more with the background. I mean, a hair flowing with the wind as this is should let one see traces of the sky in between, and have a bit more of wilderness. So even when the hair strands are nicely rendered here, it'd be good to keep in mind that the sky on the rear should be visible in some parts. Oh btw, congrats on the face! The nose looks awesome, and the lips and the eye as well <3

Thanks c: Both for the compliments and the critique-- You're right, the hair is a bit too solid [the fact that I didn't plan ahead what to do with the background might have affected >.>], I'll keep that in mind c:

Thanks! It turned out better than I expected xD and it's really interesting IMO. I have a thing for skeletons, I think they're just so pretty.

I totally dig this piece. The purple-ish skin tone looks great in front of that dirty gray-green background. The hair has wonderful flow, and the shadows are very believable.
Don't worry so much about a "believable" light source, it's a great piece of art. And as the old saying goes, "learn the rules so you can break them properly."
If I had to critique anything, I'd suggest putting some highlights in the upper lip, it appears a little more "flat" than the lower lip.
In all, great job. ( b^.^)b

Thanks a lot! That was ridiculously helpful :]
I'm going over the whole thing, repainting some parts, adding detail...
It's not done yet but I just uploaded what I've got so far. So- is that what you meant with the upper lip thing?

Yeah, when viewed up close, it gives the lip a more rounded feel.
I like the way you tightened things up, the face, hair, and skull look fantastic.
Though I must admit, I miss the freckles.
