the character sizzles...great job

This is a terrific image. Your renders have improved enough in technique that you are able to develop your style. There is an attitude of singular foreboding, of vulnerability on the character's terms. The action from the shoulders to the hips gives the figure intent, as does the slightly lowered head and the forward gaze. The intention can be read as sensuality brimming with power. Your experiment with light and movement enhances the prowling aspect of the character. The "No Stopping" sign in the background is portentous and echoes the characters drive. Your choices of textures for her costume are solid and delicate. Heavy leather jacket and boots contrast playfully with that subtle glimpse of her delicate underwear. There is strength and fragility, and a guarded vulnerability that she is prepared to expose. The red bands seem to represent a certain something that ties her back. However, they are only buckles, not locks. There is a way to free the woman behind the straps that is visible to all and available to anyone she invites to unfasten them. Consider the following: The "No Stopping" sign is a terrific echo of your character's psychology. However, given the duality of meaning that "No Stopping" represents, "Garage" seems tossed in. "Garage," in this context, does not have as much resonance as "No Stopping" does. Her right arm, though it follows the marvelous serpentine movement of her body, seems to mirror her body too closely. When walking or striding, the arms move in complimentary yet opposite motions to one's stride, the left arm going back as the left leg goes forward. Perhaps if the arm swayed forward in time with the right leg so that the arm interrupted the flow of the body slightly. Perhaps if she tucked her right hand into the jacket pocket, the gentle angularity of the elbow might compliment the smooth flow of her body. These are only suggestions, not answers. The question is, however, what does the fact that she presses her arm up against her body say about her? If the answer is nothing, consider revising. If it does indeed represent something, then the image should communicate what it is. The texture on the brick wall behind her is terrific. The idea of it being there is marvelous. However, the red of the wall, which comes forward, is competing with the cooler nature of her flesh. Yes, there is red in the bands across her torso that compliments her figure and offset the red in the wall, but the much larger, much heavier wall overwhelms these delicate touches. I wouldn't eliminate the wall or change its color. I admire the fact that you've chosen to have it there. It takes courage to create that challenge for yourself, now, as the artist, you have work with the challenge you've given yourself. One consideration is that given the power of the wall, move its edge away from her edge. That strong vertical line is running tangentially down her form and tangents are not easy to work with. Perhaps if the edge of the wall came down upon her left shoulder, the red of the wall would act as a halo around her head (as the moon did for your horse in "Magie uine"). In this way, the wall, which garners its own brand of attention, is utilized to bring attention back to the central figure. Another option, if you didn't want to move the wall, would be to deepen the shadows on the wall. The fact that there is shadow play on the wall, varying depths of light and dark is terrific. Perhaps deepening these shadows and lights relative to each other would better inform the wall of its place within the image. Though I love the "No Stopping" sign, the sign itself and the post upon which it is stuck competes strongly with the central figure. Though the sign and post are clearly in the background, are darker, and are blurred, the high pitch of the red lettering and the strong contrast between the light and dark shades of the pole keep moving it forward alongside the figure. To demonstrate this phenomenon, get a pen a dark one. Close one eye and blur the image in your vision. Now, hold the pen up vertically until it blocks the post with the sign on it. Do you notice how the figure takes prominence? Now, with one still closed and vision blurred, remove the pen. Do you notice how far forward to the surface of the picture plane the post jumps? Another method, if you wish to spare your eyesight, is to convert the image to black and white, no grays, just black, just white. The post shows up like a pencil thin ghost that draws attention away from the figure, without necessarily showing any interest in giving attention back. It is fine to have a number of places for the viewing to visit across the picture plane, but they must all remember their place and bring the viewer's attention back to the main image. Consider reducing the highlight of the post to match the middle tone of the post more closely thus reducing the contrast it has within itself. It is just a post after all. How much attention do you want it to have? The intensity of the red of the letters in the "No Stopping" sign will have to be reduced as well. That the sign is almost on the same horizontal line as the character's face also creates competition for the face that it simply does not need. You have managed to pull off some marvelous things with this piece. Though the figure is off-center, the picture does not feel imbalanced. The slight bow of her head, the angle of her shoulders being different from the angle of hips, and the serpentine line that flows from the top of her head down through her left leg give her action and life. Her eyes looking out through slightly lowered lids give a peek into her psychology. The low angle of the light source, the low angle of the camera increases her stature and sense of drama. She is a tower, a monument to smoldering desire. This is excellent work.
