Harpy Valkyrie

hey all, this one started out as a quick anatomy practice, but i got carried away and did a full skin of it.

any thoughts for improvement?

Skin a different model! xD That model is so anatomically offensive, unwrapped terribly, and just structurally disgusting that I can barely force myself to look at it at all. It even has holes where the backs of the wrists should be!

Disregarding the model's shortcomings, using hair as wings is really weird. I mean, that's just personal preference, but man, that must be painful! Something about the skin is boring, it could use a lot more excitement. The clothing is just a really boring two-piece, and could use some livening up.

Also, get out of the habit of giving everything pupils in the eyes. It doesn't look that great on a lot of models in WC3. And what really makes it boring is the hair as wings. I mean, quaint idea, but it lacks flare, it really doesn't reach out and make you say "Whoa," I know you know what I mean. Also, try to highlight the skin better with sharper shading shifts, it creates a more dramatic lighting effect.

Yea the hair as wings thing is kinda...strange
The skin itself looks nice, good armor you put on her..or lack of it..:P
ANYWAYS, make give her armor on her arms that has feathers on it, and make those feathers the wings?

You know what would make this more exciting Dusk? Nekkidness. :P

Hair-wings look bad. It looks as if it's all attached in this one big hair-cloak of horribly-modelledness. And the crown looks too good for the harpy.
