FULLVIEW NESCESSARY C'mon, at least do it for Jade...
Why the crap isn't there a portraits section for DigiArt?! Oh well... Maybe DA thinks I'm not cut out for it...
Anyways... I present to you Jade Puget from AFI.

I'm still confused as to how to pronounce 'Puget', but at least it's spelled cutely (is that a word?). And yes, this is the AP cover from last month!
Not that any of you lovely people have tried to tear anything of mine apart yet, it's my FIRST attempt at a digital airbrushing portrait, so go easy on the critiquing! (Yeah, I found out the other stuff I've been doing is vector art and such...) Was lots of fun doing. A little different from the pencil work. I could get used to it. I'm still clumsy with the Wacom, heh. I had a hard time choosing what shade I wanted Jade in, but it came out... at least, I think...

And to think, I almost submitted that as my final deviation... I like taking the extra step now...

Sorry for going on so long; if you'd like more of my ranting about this, go to the WIP: http://www.deviantart.com/view/36487604/
Thanks guys!

i love the hair lol
the only thing i would say is to make the eyes a little more defined because they kind of blend into the face

What everyone has said is true. The hair just blows me away, I love how the blonde part is simple yet detailed, and how the brown is complex
Gah, this is just wonderfully done.
