    Yes [Y] Birth of Night

    Attachment: BirthONight.jpg

    A work made for the conceptart.org competition awhile ago. Inspiration was drawn from the goddess Nyx which is the goddess of night. I just really like the idea of her clothing blends into the sky and the diamonds on it turns into stars. 
    Done in PS CS4 approx 3 hours

    Hope you all like it :)

    I mostly like this, but she has no wrist bones, which makes her arms look like rubber.

    But it goes well with her plastic-like skin. Stick out tongue

    Seriously though...beautiful as the image is there are just some things that seem off. I do love the whole stars thing you've got working there.

    Looking nice so far. I like the lacy,silky garments. However I'd tone down those white highlights on her skin. They're too harsh.

    Its a nice concept.  I kinda dislike the background though.  You've got a wonderful painting in the middle and then... this really sad excuse for a background it sorta looks like you did the background with traditional crayons or pastels and then made the focal point digital.  Its a little distracting.

     

    I do like the flow and detail of the matterial along her body and in the wind.  I like the curve of her side as well.  I would work a little more on the face.

    All in all again I say its a nice concept.
