Frikin Wow!!!!!!!!
First off , what do you got like 11 hearts in there? What is so damn cool about this is the way all the curves and arc's seem to flow together. The eyebrows arc matching her hairline and then her eyelids. Wonderful!
Also, Kudos to you for rounding off her chin. The hearts in the eyes as light reflections send this over the top! Her nose is great btw. I hate doing noses!.
And finaly, the color tones are superb! Look out Author ,I think you got some Picasso on you! hehehe
Oh and.............thats 1 down you got 2 more coming right?

oooh wow, thank you guys.
you always make me feel like doing more more more with all these lovely comments!
and, gotmeamuse, it was planned to have everything "echo" each shape...nice to have someone notice all the work i did in planning that out. its fun when something comes together like that. (and yes, i'll fill my quota, i'm quite sure of it.
and everyone else! thank you thank you thank you!
I left her ears out on purpose. and the hairstyle is actually a hat of sorts. and thanks for noticing the color pallete. i purposely used 5 distinct colors.

The muted colors give this a haunting feel. I love it.

lovely painting

i took the time to take a better picture with a real camera instead of my phone. :P lazy artist that i am, i don' always have my camera right there to take a good picture of things when i get them done, and then get all excited to post them and show off. :P

thanks for understanding, and no matter what your votes were, i appreciate every one taking the time to look, and to comment onmy stuff. it means oooooh so very much to me. finally after years of gathering dust, my easel is being used. its even gotten new paint smudges on it thanks to you guys!!!

Wonderful love lady. G/L Author.

I even like this one better than the Doubled Crossed. Maybe it's just the personal impression but I see you, your face, in every portrait entries of yours, that's so interesting.

Gotmeamuse, you should have beat me on both counts.... those zombies rocked.

THANK YOU ALL. SERIOUSLY. i can't say it enough, but you all are the reasons i post these things. otherwise, they'd be sitting in a portfolio somewhere gathering dust. I love that you all give me a reason to do what i do. *blush*
