okay so maybe she's not a pirate, maybe she is, but for now she's naked so I did a headshot of my naked avatar from another site

behold it's rainbow nonsense and lack of correct nostrils

[is it just me or could the area above the eye on the left use more blue?]

oooo pretty rainbowness.

Yes, more blue above the left eye would look good.

Thank you muchly ^_^ I realized it after I had already posted it on maybe 3 sites XD I should sleep more
her nose is starting to bother me every time I look at it ... it's too high.
would have been lower if I'd gotten the nostrils right. Stupid nostrils.

lol the nose is disturbingly high but, ah well. I LOVE how you colored her. I really, simply, adore it *gush* I've never been able to be that randomly, sporadically, chaotically, creative and it's really not fair :P lol She's really cute though and well shaded :D

yes, yes it is. I was going to blame it on the colouring and things but I just looked at the sketch and it was actually higher before I coloured it XD Thank you thank you ^_^ it's not really that random it's just cool colours for shading and warm colours for highlights. I never understood how people did it and then one day I decided it wouldn't hurt to just try it so I looked at a bunch of pictures and realized it really wasn't that complicated lol

Yes, I've noticed that, and I would say I don't think I'd ever be able to get it right, choose the right colors and what not, but then I've said "I'll never get that good" in other things and apparently, practice really does make perfect, or close enough for me anyway, so maybe I'll start trying my own hand ;) lol

Whoa nice! Very unique style, I really like it!

Thank you ^_^
okay here's one with a lower nose XD

not finished or anything ... colours subject to change as well lol I've already had her face about 300 different combinations of colours and I'm liking the pastel right now although while colouring it I sort of felt like I could smell chalky pastels :\
