the highlights and shadows are beautiful. I love how the rest of the picture fades away, but her face is sharply detailed.

I love how her face and chest are in a cold sharp focus and everything but the necklace is blurred. It shows that the necklace is important....I wonder what it means to her.
Curious....,

I love the lighting. The freckles and the sharpness of the rings on her necklace are nice touches...

this is really great! you always have very defined/strong facial features on the characters you come up with. they are similar to your features, but you seem to tweak them in a different fashion everytime. great stuff

If being awesome was a crime, this would be on the top of the "Most Wanted" list. 8D
How do you blend so well? ;O;

It's beautiful! What's also amazing is that even though her clothes and her hair is so different to the other version of her, you still managed to make it obvious that it's the same person.. I always find that very hard to to, so- I'm really impressed!

It's something I really struggle with, so it's makes for good practice trying to get the same face again XD
Thank you ;-;

Awesome series, her face tells tails in both.

You said it best, she is much softer and approachable in this picture, but no less beautiful. I love both of these portraits.

This one looks much more refined and 'clean' than your last one. 83
(I've always been a fan of rough approaches, so it's not meant as a negative thing).
Lovely, absolutely LOVELY contrast work, and the pendant looks so gorgeous! My eyes keep skipping from the face to it.
God, you're so skilled! Such an inspiration! <33

wow, I love this ring on her neck, which makes so big contrast with her clothes, which are making one with bacground at the bottom

Simply beautiful. It doesn't make sense to me how you can draw such realistic, yet unbelievably gorgeous things such as this. What's worse is, no reference... and only in a couple hours.
I'm really enamored by how you manage to make the shine at the nose, lips, cheek and chin so... flawless with regards to lighting. It's honestly startling. You truly are gifted; a verrrrry talented artist. @_@
Well, this'll go straight into my Fave's.
Keep it up, keep it up! ^^
*Clap, clap*

Totally stunning work as usual Charlie. The way you make colour tones so smooth looking is crazy. How do you do it? My works always have a more painted look about them.
