Speed Painting (Critique please)

[Beep]

I spent about an hour on this one today as a present and I want you guys to point out any problems.

I don't want to post the original photo without her permission so I'll ask her when she gets back online.

Critique?

[OoooF4LiFe]

Whats it suppose to be?

[Laurence]

Seems pretty damn good to me.

[darkGreen]

Great job on this one.

[Knight of Cydonia]

Very nice, looks great.

[Dodger]

That's horrible.

Kidding, it's very impressive considering you only spent an hour on it.

[Tweek]

It's really good, nice colours. Great shading.

Some things looks a little askew but without the original photo for reference I can't tell if it's meant to be that way.

[Scrotemeal]

It's really good, wow. Some of the facial features look a little off too start with, but having seen the photo it's more obvious its just the expression.
lol lextreme is a horse
I quite like it.

[Sieda]

That's damn good. You seem to be very talented Beep.

[Gilligan]

Holy fuck, Beep. Marry me.

[Beep]

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I was worried the colours would fuck it up because Imageshack makes everything lighter but eh.

[azunder]

Looks great, though it's a shame some of the darker tones have that smudgy Photoshop look to them.

[Beep]

Yeah, it doesn't look like that normally, it's Imageshack.

The black blends in a lot better in PS. :/

Unless you mean the jacket, I plain gave up there.

[Assassin]

Do a nude painting please

[Jackoff Shitler]

The strip of hair in her forehead that goes down her left eye looks way too straight, like she's wearing something to hold it.

Other than that, looks fine.

[Dacada]

Nice, but the eyes look like they're just placed onto the face, rather than actually are a part of the face. Focus more on the lines or shapes that put the eyes in the face, instead of just on top of it:

I was sure I replied to this earlier.

It was right after the nudes request, to which I said 'I agree'. Also, holy shit. That's awesome with doing it quickly. I'm jealous, and clearly need to practice more. Can't think of much to say against it. Although the rightmost portion of the left (our left) eye seems to not fit into the face quite right. The shadow on our right, her left appears to be too straight, but that depends on the original photo and hypothetical light source. Her neck and head might not be lining up exactly. Again, though, without the original photo she might just look like that.

[Diki]

I've seen a smaller version of the original picture and it's actually a pretty good representation of it.

[SODA]

I'd hit it. Also mouth/jaw looks like it could cut someone.

[Diki]

Actually now that I look at the picture, the cheekbones should be more defined and the chin a very little bit pointier.

Don't take it the wrong way though, it's still way better than anything I could have ever done.

[BmphP]

It's amazing but I'm no art fag so I don't notice things like "well cheeck bones off" "well heads a little small"

[Angil]

I'm jealous, I'd love to do something like that.
It's great, I don't see any faults, there's nothing wrong with it as far as I can tell.
Great job

I've seen the reference photo, and the eyes are like that. They're not part of the face.

Great job Beep!

[The Fetus]

Really good. Looks just like her. Mouth looks kinda funny, though.

[Stealth Prawn]

I get the feeling that the eyes aren't supposed to be there, for some reason. Besides that, it doesn't really look like a horse. Those are my only critiques.

[Ocellatus]

Just like the original, apart from the shading on the cheeks.

[Elipses]

All in an hours work. Very cool picture.

[Norik]

Holy shit that's some amazing work right there.
I know it's part of the style but the lines are a bit sloppy, especially on the hood. But wow.
What'd you use for this?

[SourChicken]

The darks do look a bit smudgy, but as you pointed out, it's probably Imageshack. I've seen the original and that looks reeeeally good.

[keeler7]

nice painting, you clearly have some talent

[Zebbs]

I'm just jealous because I couldn't do something this good in any space of time.

[Chrisso]

IT'S NOT PRETTY ENOUGH!

[bur]

Looks very nice, but was it done from scratch or did you use the scanned photo and worked on it with effects and the such?

I was worried the colours would fuck it up because Imageshack makes everything lighter but eh.Imageshack doesn't change pictures at all (as long as you don't tell it to). I checked that once with a CRC32 tool and it was exactly the same. So if the colors look off it's maybe your browser or something else.

[DoctorButt]

This is really good, I've seen the referance picture and it looks just like this. The mouth is bit off, but other than that, fantastic job.

[CnGy]

The nose is awful.

Otherwise good job I guess.

[Anderson]

Oh my god that is amazing 10/10 :) x good job I love the way you've done the face too.
