Deathby
meyersComment by littlegett: Death has to be one of my all time favorite characters. So much so I drew a version of her and had her tattooed on my arm. Neil Gaiman is a literary Genius L()L. Did you know he is the only author to win an Literary award for writing a comic? Sandman no less.
First notice though from the look of the image is out of your control? The circle should be more in the outside corner of the eye than where it is. Second, Should have had the top had on in this one L()L with the ankh visible. One other observation is that her skin should be a bit more pale.
However, I do notice a bit of hot spotting on her nose and shoulder/arm. I think it would have been great to find a balance where it was not blown into stark white but showed a nice paleness to her skin.
Yet, I wonder what if you turned this into a b/w. To bad this is basic editing, I am thinking a selective colour to enhance the blacks and even out the whites to not blow her highlights. Also to mask the b/w selection limited to her cloths/hair/skin minus lips and background. Possible lighten the eyes a touch as well.
Overall my opinion of this image is that it was taken at an outdoor event, comic convention or the like. Very few I think know this character, as evident with the comments. I personally would have enjoyed viewing more of the character, the ankh, top hat, and tank top really help personify this character more clearly to those whom know. Also, I would have enjoyed an image without the bright white behind because of the blown shoulder. The version you have with the green foliage behind her in my opinion looks a bit cleaner in the background area and bleed between the two.
It's Death, whats not to like? Very nice work and fantastic scoring.
