That is simply amazing... I love everything except the black brush on the right hand side of the image. oh and btw how do you get that light effect on Vanitas's face and also on your avatar?
It looks to me like pink soft brushing set to a blending mode; probably Lighten, Screen, Color Dodge, or Linear Dodge. Anyway, I really like this. =] I do think it fades to black much too quickly on the right side, though, and the light in itself is a little awkward. The light source seems to be coming from the bottom right, but then you've got the black there. Shadows appear where the light is not! Otherwise though, pretty rad. c:
Oh its amazing :3 I love the colours,and the whole thing is just great. A bit to much paint,but the lightings amazing looking and really makes the pic look even better. Great work!!
Ehm, okay. I like the combination of color you're trying to go for. it looks sexy. However, there are quite a bit of things that should be pointed out. The light is all over the place, there doesn't seem to be anything focused about the light, it's not particularly bad, but the current light is all over the place, plus you have that soft brush there randomly, and it seems pretty weird. There's no depth. I can see you tried going for some, but the effect placed there on the left is something in the foreground, the stock is in the middle, and the rest is on the background, yet they all seem to be on the same place, and just putting those patches around the stock doesn't seem to really make the stock look blended.
Jay stole my words. D: Everything is beautiful and the blots of paint are especially gorgeous. The only thing I dislike is the right side. I get that you probably did that due to lack of an idea on what to do there but if you can, try to fix it.
