Edit: Thank you to all the people who helped with the critique!
 I think her shoulder looks much better now - still a little weird, but it's the best I could do!This is my twisted rendition of Johannes Vermeer's famous painting, Girl With a Pearl Earring.  Hopefully this isn't too blurry. I had to enlarge it because I started very small.I'm very proud of it because I used no reference at all!  I was very inspired by *Fenglyph's fantastic Corel Painter portraits, so I tried using a different approach by utililizing tons of layers and blending between them.Any and all comments are appreciated.  Time taken: 8 hours Materials: Photoshop Elements + Wacom Graphire Layers: 16 Credit: The concept is (C) Vermeer; Versa and the image are (C) =SaxGirl1010. Comments
 Oh wow, this is just awesome!! The only thing I can see here to be really nitpicky about is possibly the shoulder. which could maybe move to the viewer's right a teensy bit. Right now, it looks as if she has thought about keeping the shoulder forward while turning her head in that direction, which I doubt anyone would think about if just turning your head to growl at someone.
And again, that is being REALLY REALLY nitpicky. The face structure here is so amazing. This is a wonderful picture, with or without reference!!  That is such an amazing expression! She looks so feral and angry, and so realistic too! I really love your style, and how you spoof-ed the Vermeer painting. x3

 There is a girl in my Art IV class who did a self portrait last year in charcoal based off Vermeer's painting... it was incredible. She spoofed it too, but unintentionally - she had this "  " look on her face.  I guess I was kind of inspired by that, too.-- Avatar by =MenInASuitcase Help me out: Commission me! That's why I'm hoping more people will comment on this in regard to the shoulder. I kind of just threw it together.
 But thank you - I understand what you mean in your critique. I'll try to fix it as soon as I can.Thanks! -- Avatar by =MenInASuitcase Help me out: Commission me!  XD thats funny. i llike the teeth
-- "The temple of dead hope is a state of mind of which you need to alleviate yourself from."  Ooooo, awesome! (NoctemSerpentem: "But I'm not sick of Versa...." Me: "Me neither..."^_^)
