Bonjour, madame!Nice portrait! Just say that seems to me that the right hand with cigarette ,may be the angle is not natural(too broken) and the neck lace seems on the air a little bit(check the shadow)

Just chuckling to myself--if this is 'you' (as I suspect since you say it is G), then you look much as I imagined. Lovely--and terrific job. I know this isn't a photographic tex (or I'm assuming not), but did you consider that also?? Thanks for the chance to meet you face to face smile. Diane B

Diane...I have used no texture..just a bump on Vickie's face made out of the prototype photo with just MY face lines! :o) Martial...I guess you are not a smoker...that's exactly the way I use to hold my cigarette...on a totally relaxed wrist when supporting my elbow on a table! LOL! (posed after original image too)As for the necklace shadow I DO object since it's casted from the spotlight positioned high on the left side of the head if you notice the lighting more carefully! I had quite an ordeal to position it correctly so the beads go behind the garment and not in front..that's how I know for sure! :o) PhilC...always a charmer!:o) Tribe...a real gentleman! LOL!

Rena, what a great picture. It would be fun if all of us could do self-portraits and make a sort of gallery of members. I'll have to try it. Melanie

Outstanding! Atmospheric, expresive and intimate. I'm getting a secret thrill in seeing a picture from you that is not a costume template. jje

Very nice work. I like the choice of colors and the wat the dar/light areas balance out. Where is the glow from your monitor? Just kidding, always pictured you as being in front of your computer. You must be with all those neat things you do, thanks.

Thanks everybody! :o) Allie...this was modeled after the full version of the image that the tiny logo was cut off from! Glad you noticed it! LOL! Jje...I love doing textures but that's not all I do..my Galley at FairyWoods has lots of images and lately I've added quite a few to the gallery of this forum! But, I'm not at all bothered to be remembered mainly as a texturer..quite the opposite! :o)
