Nice work! In the ME universe there is no better pick than Shiala to fill the scifi trope of the sexy, green alien chick! 😄

Thank you again Ciarán for the feedback! 😃😃

Ooooh, I really like these colours! 💙💚 The green of Shiala's skin and outfit, with that sort of glow around her, really stand out so nicely against the cool grey-blue and grey tones of the background. The textures and definition of the background are great too, I particularly like all of the plane changes and clear divide between light and dark tones, like on those square cut-outs to her left or of the bed she's sitting on. Shiala's pose and expression are really nice too, she's got this real attitude to her with that cold glare and the way she puts her hand on her hip. I also like the asymmetry of her arms, one raised and bending while the other is lowered and straight. And her legs are nicely posed too, I like how she has one raised up onto the bed with the calf hanging down. The only critique I would have is that I feel like her head is a little small. But even then, it's really well painted and rendered! Speaking of the rendering, there's so much detail to her outfit! I really like how the dark green trim and white sections of her top all wrap around the shapes of her body. The various creases and folds where her shoulders and arms bend or where the top clings to her all look great too. The pants and thigh-highs look lovely too, I really like the subtle yellowy-green tones mixed into the boots. The colour gives the boots some vibrancy and contrast and definitely makes them stand out against the bed. Also the texture and blending is so smooth, I love it! 🥰🥰🥰 And looking at her gloves, on both arms, you have this green lighting, sharper on her right arm and softer on her left and it looks so nice. It's a great detail too, showing how the colours of her top are bouncing onto her gloves. Her nude figure looks gorgeous too. The texures are so smooth and I love the overall colour-balance/lighting. Her shoulders, arms and breasts receive this pale, cool light, while her legs have these warmer tones to them and the contrast is gorgeous. And the textures of her skin are so smooth too, like I love both of her shoulders and arms and how seamless the blend between light and dark is. Something else I really like is how her front planes are mostly in shadow and the light is mainly shining on her on her outer planes, with her arms and breasts being great examples of that and it matches with that glow that surrounds her. Likewise, her head/face benefit really well from this lighting! I love how her face is in shadow and then her jaw, cheeks and head-ridges all receive this soft light. It's like her face is surrounded by a halo of light and it looks great. I also like the subtle pinkish-reddish hues mixed into her cheeks and nose, adding some warmth to her face and contrasting well with the green, same with her lips too 🥰 Wonderful work on this piece, Ynorka! The colours, lighting and textures are all just terrific! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
