A quick paintover of a picture of a girl I have no idea who it was. It's been on my computer for ages. She had a very smooth 3d look to her, and I made her even smoother but also I tried to make her more painted looking. Also because the pic was low in resolution. Added a simple texture for the clothing. I especially loved the dark lighting around her. Input always welcome :)
I've always felt that beauty resides in small imperfections ... only a Barbie doll has no flaws--and how interesting is that? That's what I liked so much about the original BG portraits, that no one really looked like a model. Compare the old Star Wars movies to the recent ones ... every one looks like a beach babe now, even little Darth Vader. So dull. In a word, I'll be back checking for your work all the time, you're fast becoming my favorite maker of portraits. You've got the skill in spades, and the right philosophy, too.
