Project will be printed on high-quality textured watercolour paper.

There is a lot of detail lost on the white

I don't like the first 2. They don't seem very feminine. The last one, however, looks pretty cool. It reminds me of a collage with the purplish stripped tones on the chest. I think it would look nice if you went for the collage theme and had some text here and there (on the black hair especially around the ears maybe. on the rest of the skin and stuff i'd make it very light). It would be an easy and creative way to incorporate "de la femme" or w/e into it. Then again, I don't know how well text will print on watercolor paper because of the texture.

i like it a lot! great job.
i also like the fact that the white is without detail!
Maybe an idea can be to bring a little more detail in her face on the first image.

I love it! I think the style is beautiful. The second piece (third image) especially is fantastic.

The woman's feet look a little strange in the first one though, like they're too big or something. They should be more delicate.

But great work. Very nice.

Hey, I like the last one!

I agree that the first two don't look feminine enough, and I think they would be better with more detail, I didn't know the first two where humans untill I looked at the last one, but I think that's a cool style, just needs a little more detailing/refining.

dude i seriously love it, would want a print of that:love:
excellent style!

Thanks for the comments everyone - I'll keep going with it then! Agree needs some refining in terms of detail but there's a balance to be reached between not enough and too much.

I'll post more from the series once they're all print ready.

The textures are beautiful, and the colors are very somber, reflecting the style of your artwork. I too like number three, but only because it is not a head on view, the angle and the contours you have on that are fantastic. Excellent work!
