I like this darker look, I think you should darken more of your works (unless you like your style how it is) But you definately have talent and should keep goin'! Love the eyelashes!
Love the strength of contrast in this Martha.. the ultra dark hair really makes the face stand out.. hehe.. you should have entered it.. it's certainly good enough!...:-)
This is very good! I love the detail...it is drak..has a bit of a Gothic feel even..but you captured the "life" in her eyes so very well! I think you should be very proud of this!
