Oh how fun! I love how you did my hair! Looks natural. ^_^ The only thing I think you could improve on, would be the fire. Since it's all basically the same value, there's no depth to it. Maybe putting in some stronger highlights could bring that to life. Other than that, great job!

Took your advice and I changed the fire a bit. Thank you for the direction and of course your posing which was perfect for what I wanted to put together.

Thank you, the fire has concerned me but I was afraid of getting it too bright. I will play with that part again and see what I can come up with.
Glad you like it.

She really is protecting that flame ^.^
Excellent job. It has this heavenly, out-of-this-world, almost alien feel to it. Its awsome!
(by alien I dont mean little green men in silver suits......but I'm sure everyone knew that)

Thank you, really appreciate the comments and sharing how you see it. Have to admit I had some doubts about it looking finished. So last night I pulled it up again and tried some things with it. As you can see it will stay the way it is. Of course I also started some detail work on my favorite doll too

Thank you, I really enjoyed doing this one. Funny thing is, it started with just the foreground which is really a picture edited and flipped then joined. After that, everything else flowed into place, to include the Pegasus.

Man what an incredible about of detail here! The scene is presented beautifully!
And I'm amused by the fact that you chose *KymYume to be your virgin Hestia.. she's a Virgo! lol
good luck!!
