Okay, I know that a lot of people are not going to like this picture because it is so much different from what I usually do... but I really wanted to draw this, so bear with me
For some reason, I think I must have seen something that inspired me this picture, but I can't remember what, where or when... ._.;;
The title 'Paradize' is actually the title of an album of the French band Indochine (which I am not a huge fan of, but their rock songs have a eerie and surreal feeling that I like pretty much). And before somebody says it, I know that the correct word is 'Paradise' - it is made on purpose.
I am pretty unhappy with how the hair and feet went out X_x;; ... Shame, because I liked the general idea and I kinda feel like I ruined it (not the entire picture, just those parts). I still need to work on anatomy.

I think it's fantastic.
The lighting on the feet could, admittedly, use a little more work... but it doesn't ruin the over all appeal. The alternating soft and stiff lines and the shifting colors give it such a simple elegance.

Thanks! I'm glad someone actually noticed all the empty space... composition is a hard thing to do, I wasn't too sure it was going to come out alright o__o;
I'm not artist, but here goes...perhaps lighting on her hair would work better? I dunno, it's just really dark where her head is (black, hair, go me). And for the foot...I think maybe making it a little more narrow right before her toes would increase the appeal of it. It seems like an abrupt change of width there. I like the fact that there's a bunch of blank space (with twinkle/fuzz things) and the heavy border. It really puts the focus on her and the intricate line work of...the thing she's on...whatever you want to call that. I really like how the colors of the wrinkles change in the sheet. I suppose it adds some motion to the picture. Oh, black is so pretty! Looks nice and peaceful....mmmmm

God made me a cannibal to fix problems like you. :]
And I love the hair... I'm no one to say anything about the foot 'cause I can't draw them myself. ^_^
