Sorry about the struggle with smoking. The art work is certainly not a failure. Very photo-realistic. Excellent work!!!!!

Ecxellent work!!!!

I can certainly sympathise with you - as an ex-smoker I failed on the first attempt. After a year or so I gave it another go and succeeded, I've now been a non-smoker for over 20 years! You'll do it in your own good time - fabulous render!

Aww you did great!!! I so hear ya tho...I tried to give up and life got too hard so I went back on....Im gonna try again soon. Good luck when you do too! big hugs....marvellosu work btw

i thought this was a very good picture....Your not a failure...the addiction is so Great it over Power's a Person....Your a winner in a lot of things in Life...Keep that in your mind. Believe Your Dream it is possible!!!

It's just a setback, not a failure. Beautiful picture. 5!

Dont Quit Quiting! Great Image!!

Quitting those cigarettes is the worse as I have been there. I haven't had a cigarette in over 5 years now but am disabled with Severe Emphysema/COPD. Please don't give up - I would hate to see you wind up like me! Great work!

she is very beatiful and i love the outfit!!!:)

Gorgeous render...sorry for the unsuccessful attempt this time. Don't have any tips to offer since I never tried them in the first place, but I'm sure you'll be ready to try again and from the sounds of it there'll be lots of tips and help available for you here when you're ready.

Hey! You tried and when you're ready you will go at it again. I applaud that you gave it your all. It's the toughest thing. Now go put a smile on this gir's face and a cocktail in her hand!

Oh bless your heart! Look at it this way- you didn't fail- you just didn't succeed this time around. I smoke too- and it is going to take a miracle from the Good Lord to get me to quit, it's just too hard. Hugs! btw, your image is fantastic!!!

Excellent scene, Leah!

A very strong scene.

Good luck with with the smoke habit. You can do it. You just have to want it very bad... Nice image.

EXCUSE FOR MY INGLES I USED THE TRANSLATOR

Sorry you are having such a hard time quitting ... but it's a great image. CC

Smoking can possibly be one of the hardest habits to kick. Even after loosing part of a lung, and wanting to quit, my dad is having a hard time stopping. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for him, since he has been smoking for over forty years. :O{

You'll stop when you're totally ready. I have faith it'll happen. Fabulous image with the perfect expression.

You really have to be ready to stop smoking, sweetie. You can't have any stresses and you need to hve something to take the place of the cigarettes. Do not feel bad about this.... it happens to all of us that smoke. I have been smoking over a quarter of a century and all my attempts to quit have failed. It comes down to basic fear. And before you can quit, you have to overcome that fear. Don't expect miracles... people who have quit for 20 years or more still have the craving. Each time you try to quit it gets easier and eventually you will be able to do it. Just don't give up on it. I'm still trying. HUGS!!!

You managed not to smoke for a few months, that took a lot of willpower in itself. Don't look at that as a failure. I know it's more than what I could've done in your place. You spent a few months doing what was right for your health, despite a strong compulsion to smoke. Look at every day you didn't smoke as a success, instead of the whole thing as a failure. :) Sad though this piece is in subject, it's VERY well done technically. And however you feel about this one, it should be the effort that counts most. With your art, and that your effort to quit. And you should never look at either as failures. Hugs Leah. - Matt

Really good image. As an ex-smoker (just over a year now), believe me, I understand how hard it is. Took me 6 tries before I was able to break the habit. It will happen. Just be patient and try again whenever you're ready to do so.

Great work!!!!!!!!

Shame - I used the Champix tablets and I have to admit I sometimes get what I call the JITTERS when I would like a smoke in the evening - but you need will power to say NO WAY! or better still - a mint to suck on! LOL Wonderful picture!

If at first you don't succeed try, try again as the saying goes. Most people don't make it the first time. This is a lovely pose and her expression says it all.

Very nice work! It's like a photo! Superb!

You tried and that is all that can be expected, and 6 months is a great accomplishment. When you are ready to try again you will. Excellent image

Cool render!~ I swore I would quit when Michigan raised the cigarette taxes so high, until I found cartons of little cigars for $7.99 a carton. They are nasty, but they have nicotine, LOL! I have to quit, too. So bad for our health.

OH, hun, it's a shame you went back to smoking. I know it's hard. I hope you'll try again. Soon. Wonder image!
