Description
It's not often I dare to put an image in the Realistic category, but I tried hard with this one with tweaking textures and lighting, (particularly on the teeth!) so I thought I'd risk it.
I hope you like - thanks for looking! Also a huge Thank You to those who Fav'ed me as an artist last week - I made the Art Charts for the first time in many months which was a very nice surprise! Please don't be shy in adding your comments, I love to see your feedback (suggestions and criticism as well as the positives).
Cheers, Phil

Which beautiful portrait and which beautiful expression... Bravo my friend!
very beautiful expression & portrait
nice expression!
great character portrait - love the realistic texture!
Great work, very realistic. But as for me she's not smiling: she's gonna say something right now, and she's surprised/amazed a little, she looks in wide-eyed astonishment... But excellent picture in any way.
Stunning artwork my friend, excellent done....love the color palette and pose.
Great realism and wonderful portrait, is very expressive......!!!!
Lighting is really nice! Though I think if her mouth were closed slightly and the corners of her lips were curled up a bit more it'd nail the smile. I tend to go with half-smiles because I can never really get a decent full one. ;P Still it's a great expression, and I particularly like her eyes. I don't have the guts to put anything in the Realistic category yet, so kudos!
Very nicely done!
Wonderfully done! I agree with ThetaLov above: I've found that more subtle dial settings seem to work better on the expressions - SO difficult to make them more realistic. Nice work here Phil!
Wow! this is amazing realistic..I have been using Worldbuilder and Vue and come to a realization that Carrara seems to have a more smooth and realistic render than the others....not only that but you made the skin so realistic it is almost like there is no screen on my computer but a hole and she is just there staring at me!
yep, in the right gallery, great job!!
A stunning beauty! Natural and realistic!
Fantastic! ... and I agree with DT, the hair is a good product already.
