NIGHTS 25

Excellent color choices! Very sultry.

Very cool monochromatic scheme. Maybe a bit more brightness in purlpe boost it even more

I love this model 💖

I also agree with @KID55 that the purples lack some brightess and saturation to get a proper glow from below.

nice model and creepy mood you created!

Amazing smoothness and light, I love the colour choices.

very cool color choice. I really like the way it's done in monochrome.

Amazing colour selection and paint job. 

Just stunning work. It looks about as natural as it can get.

As someone who has painted this model I really love the work you did into giving her the facial lines and sculpting the extra nightmare teeth and eyes into her base effect.

Those eyes on base are so creepy) Beautiful and sinister lady, great job!

Highlighting the details of this model have really paid (not painted autospell gremlin, bad gremlin) off on this piece. The base modeling really adds further creepy factor to an already creepy but sensual sculpt. That said, I'm not getting the sense that the lighting is coming from the model itself so much, though clearly underlit by the base, the stronger light source seems to be coming from above someplace 'off screen' as it were. 

this is beautifully subtle. the focus on the torso to the base just glorious

Love the palette choice on this one!

Excellent placement of highlights and definition of volumes. If you're a beginner and not an overachiever, wow!

The model is beautiful from the start, and this painting helps it to show the details. Magnificent work!

Wow, very interesting Yumi. It can be seen that this is not a beautiful girl, but a demon that comes into our world from the gates of hell. Very atmospheric. Separate Respect to the author for face painting)

You are completely right, and it is intentional. My idea here was to emphasize the native duality of this creature. So I decided to try to make her upper half in a classic beauty style with a more natural lighting, while the bottom half i tried to give the impression of "stuff of nightmares" with both colouring and light coming from underneath. Then I had to work out how to bind those two aspects together with painting, and is probably why I ended up with a rather weak light from the base.

In hindsight I could probably increase the intensity a bit more.

Lastly, thank you all for the incredible feedback I got on this, and of course, thank you for the votes🥰 I really love this community!
