Try using a set of 4 pixels where 3 of them are very dark (purples from shirt look ideal) and use one single bright (using the blues from the eyeshadow blues. Then using that go from dark to light to dark as needed using that 4px as 1 piece. (like the 2nd earing is but 1 is bright)
Even tho its a fantasy picture I think a hint of lower lid will help in defining the nose.
The disc in the center (holding 3 straps) is too round. At this angle it should oval a little more.
You get into your pieces and always try your best so I like to nitpick your pieces to help if at all possible.

EDIT: Congrats, on the second place!

Thanks for the C&C and Jal for the congrats. Not bad at all for my first weekly^^ I usually try to make each piece better than the last. So I really appreciate the nitpicking

Anyways though, I think I adjusted pretty much everything mentioned to some degree.. I think the bit around the neck is my biggest issue now..I need to redo that or something. And does the fact that the boobs dont line up with the black leather collar pieces bother anyone? I keep thinking that it should line up..

edit:// okay tried something new and I think it fixed the collar. And Jal, whoops, I didnt know which eye you were talking aboutXD I'll play with it tomorrow. Thanks again! The little studs look much better when they're shaded :O

I don't get it... and you did not edit anything ?

(I am talking to Jal)

Could you edit it the way you meant with the scheme? I would like to understand it too ;)

Let me rephrase what I said so you can understand what I meant:

Huh, what does your explanation and what does your image mean? What did you want to show?

The difference is the lids, specifically the lower one. His line gives a much more defined shape to the lower part of the eye.

Okay, I used jals redline and then pretty much aaed it.. It doesnt make much of a difference in my eyes, or maybe I'm still doing it wrongXD Anyways, I redid the shading below the neck and fooled around with those strap things too. they're killing me,haha. I think its the body's angle..

oh and I dont really mind paintovers or redlines at all. I give them to other people all the time so I would be a bit of a hypocrite if I wasn't open to them
