My first attempt at portrait making. Based on photographs, with the the hood being a modification of one of the Human Male Bioware portraits. Thanks to Apricane for his portrait tutorial, it was a big help. For those curious, the beautiful lady is Melissa Puente. A court sorceress? A beautiful noblewoman? A royal courtesan? One thing's for sure, she's dressed a little too finely (and lighty!) for the rigorous life of an adventurer!

Ring is well done and the eyes tend to follow. Very well done. I'd make the chin a bit stronger. Have a look at near-eastern women (Israel, Lebanon etc..) and you'll see what I'm thinking. Very well done.

Thank you for your kind comments. I hadn't noticed the problems with the hood until now, hopefully I'll get a better eye for such things in time.

Great picture but the basic laws of physics and perspective say her head cannot possibly fit inside that hood. The hood should bulge more at the left (our right) where the upper quarter of her head should be. Apart from that it's good work.

I like her. Especially her face. Some constructive criticism? The right side of her cloak's hood needs a trifle more fabric. From the angle in which her head is tilted it doesn't look like there is enough fabric their to hide the top of her head. otherwise. REally good. She looks much more like a painting than most of the photo collages on the vault. G-Gal
