Ah, my camera currently not working at the moment, which is a shame because I would really love to pose for this shot. I think I've got similar hair to her and I can certainly pull off girly if I put my mind to it.

You neglected to mention you're glowing with natural beauty.

LMao, no worries iSTVAN, that comment was good enough. XD

I'll get an update up soon, there's probs quite alot of things to crit in it. I havent brought the nearest shoulder down yet, as that'll be alot of work with all the detail there.

But yuss, cheers people.

Good to see that you're still working on this, the only problem I see that hasn't been fixed or mentioned recently is the thumb. It seems like it could be going around the other side of the cup, being opposable, but it looks like a 6th finger between the index finger and thumb right now.
Keep up the good work!

Cheek Definition? Perhaps, or she has a smooth face. I don't know.

@Skull: I tried adding cheek deff earlier and it completely changed her 'look' to something i didn't like. Perhaps i could do it some other way which works, but for the moment i don't think i'll bother.

~Worked on the hair alot in this update (Although it's still in very much WIP stages). I think the loss of the two highlight tones makes the hair look much nicer, like chocolate =D
~Fixed some other things aswel. I think i'm working on taking out the darkest blackish colour altogether, but it'll be hard seeing as it is needed to define her necktop thingey etc.
~I'm also having some trouble with the shading of the shoulderpads etc. But mowel.

Thanks for the comment Skull.
Wh00t.

A wonderful piece you got there. The biggest "flaw" I would say is the hand that is holding the glass. Try holding a glass yourself and you will see that you rather have firm grip around that glass, which means that thumb wouldn't be that visible. But if you want it that way, thats okey too. One other thing about the hand. The index finger shouldn't be longer than the middle finger as it looks on the picture. And as nearly everyone else already mentioned, the fingers seem to be a little too long.

heres a quick and dirty for yoo.

maybe that's not what you want but that's what came to mind. hope et halps.

imo the neck looks real weird and the darkest face shade seems like a better colour for it. and the hand looks pretty whack but when i tried to edit i couldn't get anything either. maybe do a redraw of the hand? depends how much tweaking you wanna do.

Haha thanks guys.

I suppose i probably will do a complete redraw of the hand, something more ladylike i guess. Apart from the middle finger and index finger comparisons, i can't see anything wrong with the length of the fingers... it will sort of matter, even if i am redrawing, that i know how large they should be. I'll snap 'em a few pixels short next time and see how it looks.

Thanks alot for the edit Akira, i can see now that a change of texture etc. might be in order. I'll have a few tries with some things and see what i get. And i agree with you that the neck looks odd, not only because of the colour of it too. Once i've finished the hair, or am in the process of, i'll probably see what i can do to improve her neckkk.

Thanks for the comments again.

Nice edit..
Looks loads better without the glass.. which to start off was a bit random, but it also solves the problem of dealing with it later.
The shading is great .. my only weird thing being the neck, seem to be in loads of shadow.

Cheers Skull. I tried to fix the neck subtley.. hopefully there's an improvement. Also made touchups to the ear and some other places.
 
And I found this pretty interesting/amusing:

And a slow version for those who don't appreciate such fast boob growth.

Lol.
 

 
Ok, so unless there are any serious issues i'm gunna submit this to the gallery now. Glad she's finally finished.
