First: I am not an artist, merely a consumer of art, so I speak from a position of technical ignorance.
Second: You have done a very nice job of combining (or giving the appearance of combining) several media: digital, paint (oil? water colors?), and pencil. The integration of media adds greatly to the visual complexity and interest of the work.
Third: The way you play with the frame is really striking. You have effectively created a frame within a frame. The purple background, which gets darker as it moves away from the girl's (woman's) figure defines the rough inner frame. The pale, pale lilac defines the outer frame, but is so subtle that I didn't really notice is as such until I began paying attention to the skirt. Additionally, the skirt itself breaks the inner frame of darker purple. The rough, but straight(ish) lines of the purple inner frame contrast nicely with the well-defined, but curvy edge of the skirt. Pleasing visual complexity.
Fourth: Generally speaking, the female figure in your work is nicely done. The expression is alive, but ambiguous enough to fit a variety of narratives. The arched ring finger on the right hand is a really nice detail that adds subtle life to the figure.
Fifth: Nitpicks. The double irises of your figures are, well, a bit off-putting. The ear seems to be a bit off; I think the part that is bisecting the ear is to blame. (I believe it is called the anti-helix in anatomy books.) A line runs along the back, over the shoulder blade, and appears to be an extension of the line flowing out of the corset seam. It almost appears to be a scar.
Lastly: Lovely work here. Seems to me that I'm looking at the work of a gifted artist. Even with the nitpicks. If you open up to commissions in the new year, let me know.
the folds in the skirt are crazy cool~ they look real
the pose, the expression, the hair. its amazing. you are so talented!
