Very awesome effects. ^_^ I love 'em. Only problem is, her face is weird cause it's a little too dark on top. Creates a tiny problem for the focul imo. Very nice work mate.
yeah add a little bit more light on her face and that would be good. great game that render came from. good work on this.
I love the effects and flow. Love 'em love 'em love 'em. Lighting is good too. Render could stand out more though (make it smaller or something, lol. Render's too big IMO). Overall, killer tag.
Honestly I would like to see some color and a boarder. Call me old fashioned, but I still love those things. The only other thing I can see that I don't like is some pixelization along her face line. I am sure you can do a soft blur or smuge over that line to get rid of it though. Looking at it again I can see that there are dark shadows under her eyes, yet it is clear that light is coming from below her eyes which should, in theory, lighten those shadows. I do like it overall though.
You don't want to see the colored one, trust me. xD shadows were already on the stock, I might see about brightening them up a bit though.
You could try to add you own colors through the use of a color balance. Or maybe several color balances.... Or maybe several layers set to the color or hue blends over the parts that you want to color? I really am not sure as to the best way to go about coloring it multiple colors from scratch...
If it looks better black and white, then keep it that way. I like the amount of depth in it, and the effects keep it from looking dull. I'd probably put some 1px dots where the lighting is to see how it looks.
The dark spots under her eyes are there because the light is coming from under her. Her cheeks are just blocking some of the light. If you were to brighten up those spots, it would seem as if the light is coming from directly in front of her.
