You should maybe resize her as well, everything just looks too big for me in this image

I can't decide wheter to use Alice or Dorothy. I think I like Alice better, but there's that videogame with an adult Alice and people will say I ripped it off...
What do you guys think?

And in about 12 hours I've made this. I think all I need to do is add some dodge-tool effects to shade it and it should be just about done.

LMAO, i thought that too!! Maybe they just took a pic of her, and added some fantasy clothes and stuff onto her, because that is too similar to not be her.

lol, we´re porn freaks -_-

Yeah, that's probably what they did! And I think most of the covers used the same technique. Except maybe for Milo Manara.

Hey, just a few suggestions (though I am by far no authority on the subject) . I think it would look more photorealistic if you added some highlights to her skin, and to the dragon scales. Also, I think if you just resized her mouth to be a little smaller, and eliminated those lines coming out of the edge of her mouth, it might give her face a better shape. Also, her right cheek seems to bulge outward just a little too much, giving her a kind of heavy-jaw look that you might want to tone down (I suggest maybe looking up to see how appearances change when people get a face lift, and that might give you a better idea on how to make the face prettier). I respect your patience and open attitude towards suggestions. Keep up the good work!

I think that's a really cool concept! ...lots of potential!! I'd suggest making her bewbs much, bigger and her dress much shorter! lol Are you gonna add a crazed Mad Hatter in the background somewhere? ;)

darx... the girl on mine is wearing the exact same Borat-style thing! ...and (as I mentioned earlier) I have a dragon too. Are we being too predictable?! :(

My first thought was to do a tank girl, but I I figured 20 other people would think the same! I'd really love to see JohnnyUtah do it! I'm sure it would be amazing 'cuz he's got crazy mad skillz, yo!!

Ha, thanks! I'll think about the boobs and the dress! :D
I've just sketched a perv rabbit checking her out in the background, and I was thinking whether there's still room for the Mad Hatter as well. I'd love to include him!

Looking better now! I see you did some shading on her skin, that's nice. I also like the design on her shoulder. HOWEVER, I still have 3 minor issues with this pic of yours:

1. Her head is kinda strange, it looks way too long, and that's because the way you drew her hair. I've included a pic with what I'd suggest as a correction. The red lines show where I think her head should end.

2. The shading on her hair could be better, The way it is makes it look greasy. (which might be intentional). I'll include a pic on my following post.

3. Her mouth. Her showing teeth makes her look kinda 'horsish' too me.

Of course I'm only saying that because you've opened up for critics.

This contest's been a lot of fun so far, it's pushing my skills to the limit! And it's nice to see the art thread is not littered with 5 min sketches, people are really taking some time! Can't wait to see what's coming! :D

You know what might be pretty cool, is if you used that pose, except with a more intense look on the girl's face, and have the guitar shooting out electricity everywhere or something, like she's using it as a weapon, and have stuff in the background exploding.

Just a random thought. Awesome line work btw.

alright cool, thanks for the feedback, I noticed the same thing with the hair... and about the mouth being open, i kinda wanted that look, but still didn't get what i wanted... but will fix it,and i've already worked on the hair shading.

thanks for the feedback, working on it right now... damn "House" for the distractions.

I like SWiTCH's a lot of the completed entries. It's really simplistic and stuff, which I guess deviates from the point, but it rules nonetheless.

I suck.

damn the competition in here is fierce!!! if i get time i'll try it out.
Darx her skin tone is a bit flat try to give her some highlights so she pops up more and the face is looking much better tho that puffy cheek makes her look pudgy and wierd. the dragon and everything else could use more refining guy, take the time and paint paint paint and it'll be worth it in the end we still have till march 10th no?

y'know, I started painting the Minotaur rape scene, but I kinda got sidetracked, so it may or may not ever get done.
