    I was just about to say that her eyes seem far apart when I saw the reference pics I realized "Wow, here eyes ARE far apart."

    Yes, she has a rather unusual face, doesn´t she ? Like a real-life "manga" - girl ! She made a few movies in Japan so God knows what influence she had on that culture...

    Yukito Kishiros character "Alita" ( Gunm ) always make me think of Christina...Smile

     

    I am rather bored with Christina by now so I call this project finished, as usual in my portrait attempts the likness could have been better, this was only intended as practise anyway:

    Turned out quite nice Raimo, like the skin tones.

    impressive outcome, Raimo. lovely colours and feel to it. Im just missing a strong shadow on her rightside of forehead ( viewers right ) and less highlights on the left part  which makes it a bit flat in my opinion. but excellent still excellent as I have said.

    Hello there Jeff ! Nice to hear from you ! Thanks for the kind words !

    Well, now when I have left this portrait to rest a bit I see it flaws better...Among them what you have pointed out, what bugs me most personally is the rather horrific background I came up with...And I really need to practise my flower-painting-skills ! Still, as every picture we make it´s a step on the way ! Big Smile

    Re: raimo-stuff (mild nudity !)

    you are welcome! I actually didnt notice the background until you have pointed it out. But as far the framing goes, it go as simply as blurring it more to give a soft focus/ defocus feel and adding depth to the entire portrait. but the overall feel itself works well even without going into the background anymore. Nice one!

    yup, great image here Raimo. one thing though I see is the skin colours need to be smoothed out a bit. there seems to  be a lot of dark splotchy areas on her skin rather than nice transitions. other than that though I really like it.

    Thanks for taking a look, Fabled ! Hmm, the poor girl has a few dents on her head...Didn´t notice those, they show up better in this small scale for some reason...That´s another check one can do, - look at the pictures as thumbnails !

    that or just leave it on your screen and take 10 steps away from the computer. I find minimizing on the computer can sometimes be tricky because the computer's changing the way the pixels look instead of your eyes adjusting to the distance. though it's a bit more of a hasle, stepping away from the computer usually gets better results for me.

    Still a very nice image. And yar, the eyes apart does make her look a bit like anime, which in real life apparently is a bit weird.
