Skin Critique Requested

[Bakaling]

Requesting thoughts on this skin.


She is a mercenary/cutpurse and comes from the more southern regions of the world.

Note; even if your critique is calling something 'off' or ugly please mention it! It helps a lot and I rather nip problems in the bud than be lost in the dark.

I dislike that white and grey bit near her chest but otherwise looking good

Its meant to be a pin of sorts, like a family crest but having a small canvas to work with didnt lend itself to detail. Ill probably switch up the colours.

Updated.

First of all, I really like the shading on the skin tone, the arms and face look really beautiful because the colours work and the light shades aren't too overbearing to create a shadow or texture. However, the actual shading on the full skin doesn't really pop for me in the sense that there isn't a lot of dimension. As an idea for dimension you can put more shading on the grey and draw that out, or under the belt to show a 3D aspect. Remember shading always comes with highlights.
An example of this can be seen here, it isn't the best but I think this really shows the shading difference.


At the same time, everyone does skins differently and I really like your style as is. I'm just trying to nitpick because I know sometimes that can help and I hope this time it did at least a little.

Yeah It looks heaps better

Thanks for your feedback!

I was looking at this in college and my friend sitting next to me thought that that bandanna looked like she was bleeding from her neck...not sure how that can be changed, but might wanna fix that up

A less violent shade of red maybe?

Ive given the cloth a check pattern in order to maybe address this some. Im sticking with the red thanks to its statement as a 'low cost' colour.

Some in-depth shading to the white/gray bits would really make everything all the better. Otherwise, it looks awesome.
