I'm sorry to say that I don't get the reference, but I do get your art, which is amazing. There is such subtleness and yet strength in this piece. Everything from the pose, color, determinism in her eyes, etc. Just genius. Further, the perspective is dead on and I just love images that try some more difficult angles since I can't do it myself... yet :)

Executionwise the image is great, nice japanese style to it and nothing feels over the top. Just enough shading and highligts on everything to make it pop. The rimlighting of the hair, arm, legs, etc is also nice that it is so feathered as it gives some softness to the image.

Was hoping to see some things on the highres to critique but I can't find anything really. Sure, the brush is a bit uneven in places like forinstance the armband holding the sleeve, etc. But fixing that would have taken away some of the focalpoint from the eyes so I don't know really. I think it's very well done and I can't fault it. Just a great piece.
