I think this is pretty good, especially the background Phoenix.

Good Job!

The hair looks cut off and not completely colored, beyond that this pic is amazing!

I agree with the hair-problem and that, but the pic is still rocking! Wonderful firebird!

that background is amazing.
something about her hair doesn't look right
other than that this is really great.
stand up & cheer!

picture and other than the eyes glowing just a tad too bright ,I'd say well done!

Pretty much what the others have said...the hair seems to really need some work around the edges. But overall a job well done.

good work, though it could use a litte softening around the hair and wrinkles to blend them in a little bit better.

Another great manip! I'm constantly amazed by the quality and consistency of your images, and I especially like your backgrounds! Your costume work is also really good!

Now for the nitpicks:

1) The wrinkles on her left wrist and right elbow are a little strange-looking, but I'm not sure how to describe it.

2) Her skin tone is showing through a bit on the yellow areas (arms and legs). If the color were a bit more opaque, I think it would look better.

BTW, if you hadn't guessed by now, I'm not a user of Photoshop or other graphics programs, so I don't know the technical term for making a color more opaque in an image. It's probably "saturation" or "layer" or something technical like that! :oops:

Also, as I am not an artist, just an art appreciator, please take my opinions as just that, opinions...

Thanks!

Great job on the costume! Was she wearing a bracelet? I can't tell if it's wrinkles or not. I like the background. Did you make the phoenix?
