Howdy. I've been away for a while with real life and such.

I am posting a figure I did a few years ago, sadly I have not done much of anything since, but am looking to get my muse back and do some serious painting.

I would very much appreciate some feedback and critques of this model.

I entered it in the 2008 LA Golden demon, the last serious contest I entered. It was among the final 5 or 6 for demon contention, but it has a flaw so it was eliminated from contention. I was glad the judges talked to me about and pointed out my error, which is the foot has a small gap between it and the top of the column it stands on. Its very slight, and I didn't even notice it until they pointed it out. FWIW, only one of the judges caught it, so its a very tiny gap, but it is enough.

The blends on that purple color are very nice indeed!!

Thats a very good mini.

I think my main criticism would be that there isn't a solid focal point of the piece. The face, which is normally the best focal point, just seems to blend in with the rest, getting lost. I don't know exactly what the answer is to fix that, perhaps more severe contrast, but it needs something to make it pop out and grab our attention.

Agreed, as is, the focal point seem to reside on the breasts (largest contrast). Which I could paint like this...
