Oh now this turned out really well! The colours here are so vibrant, the warm tones of the character's skin and much of her clothing really pops against the blue background.  And the different shades of blue look gorgeous too, I like the gradients from light to dark and how they spread out from behind the character. Looking at her clothes, there's a lot of great textures going on here. With a mix of smoother materials like her brown bracers and black sleeves, same with her bra along with more painterly ones like the folds in her robe and the little white cloth that wraps over her thighs. The trousers are great too with their own mix of smooth textures and painterly folds. And I like the brown sash with it's rippling folds and the contrasting blue-grey stripes that rund down the centre. The lighting and colour tinting on the clothes are terrific and make everything pop! Her arms for example benefit very well from the blue and white edge-lights that hit them from either side, contrasting strongly with the black, making the tones pop and adding more depth to her arms. I like how overall, she receives a blue light from one side and white from the other, with her dark bra too benefitting from that extra pop and vibrancy. It also looks really nice on her right thigh (our left), with a wide, stark white light on the inner planes, while a softer blue light is on the other planes, that smoothly blends into the colours of the trousers. In the nude version, I love that you left the sleeves and robe on 🥰🥰🥰.  I think it looks extra sexy with how the robe spreads out around her and frames her body. It also keeps the dynamism from the robe and how it spreads and billows outwards. And also the way her breasts overlap the robe gives them some extra pop and makes them stand out even more. Her whole body is beautifully rendered and coloured. I love the way her abs curve and twist as she leans her body. The white edge-lighting running down her breast, waist and the inside of her thighs really make those parts pop! I also love how there's this subtle purple-blue kind of tone mixed into the darker skin tones. The best examples being under her breasts and the top planes of her thighs. These tones make her skin even more vibrant and contrast so well with her overall warm feel. Also the cooler tones make her fit nicely with the cool environment that she's in. The textures of her body are gorgeous and her overall shapes, anatomy and muscle tone are all so well defined here! I always have a soft spot for white-haired, blue-eyed characters. So although I'm not familiar with this character, I definitely appreciate this aspect of her! 🤍💙 Her white hair has a lot of detail to it and the bright edge-lighting from one side adds so much to it. I really like the pale blue of her eyes and I especially like the pale, purple-pink colour of her lips. Her features are very well defined, with her nose being my favourite part. My only critique would be that if you tilt your head to look at her face straight on, it seems like one of her eyes is higher than the other. But that aside, this painting is just great! Really gave me a lot to say, which is funny, since I talked about the pose and some other things already in my comment on the WIP, I had falsely assumed that I'd end up writing a shorter comment this around 😅 Seriously though, great work! The piece is vibrant, dynamic, atmospheric and sexy! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
