Thank you B79! 🙂🙂

She looks pretty and the contrast between the red of the cloak and the bluish background works very well indeed!

Thanks Ciarán for the lovely comment! 🥰🥰

Oh this is really nice! I always love these kinds of scenes, something about the dark-blue, night-time setting that has such a wonderful atmosphere. I really like the background with the lighter blue textures sweeping outwards around the woman, like they're framing her. I also like the little glimpses at the tops of trees and stars in the sky. The woman herself, with her vibrant, warm tones really pops against this setting and absolutely grabs your attention 💙❤️💙 Her stance is very sensual too, I like how she leans her head slightly as she looks forward, her robe falling about her body, teasing her breasts with her hands looking ready to fully reveal her. I particularly like the foreshortening on her right arm and hand and the way her fingers curl around her midsection. Her hair style is gorgeous too, I love how it flows and meanders down, with multiple strands interweaving and cascading together 💛 The rendering on the robe is looking really nice too! I particularly like the subtle blue tinting in places which is a great contrast to the vibrant red. The deep folds and creases falling near her right leg look great too and I love the rippling light and dark tones.  There's a great overall contrast in colour and tone too. The top half, at her shoulders and breasts are quite bright with softer shadows. While the lower half has that blue tinting and more darkness with the folds and the inside of the robe. I do also like there's this subtle transparency too, particularly at her right hip. Her fully nude body is beautifully painted! I love how soft and subtle the shadows/darker tones are. There's still enough contrast to properly define her features while giving her this soft, smooth look. Her thighs especially look so smooth and I do like areas with darker, more reddish tones, like along the bottom planes of her forearms and hands. Overall she has this pale look that I really like, which feels very fitting in this night-time scene. With her skin still looking warm and vibrant, contrasting with the surrounding dark blues 🥰🥰🥰 The actual rendering of the hair is beautiful with lots of gorgeous detail. Something I really like is the hair on her right side, behind her face. The dark cast shadow there does a great job of making her face pop against the hair and I like the gradient from darker shadows, towards the bright blonde hair. The lighting on her face is beautiful too! I love the pale, bright tones on her left side contrasted with the darker, warmer tones on the other side. The contrast is quite striking compared to the overall softer tones across her body, making her face really stand out. And of course the features and smooth skin tones of her face are wonderfully rendered! 🥰🥰🥰 Absolutely marvellous work on this piece! The scene and character are both gorgeous! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
