Bath Time

OK. I will keep this reasonably short ad point out the one thing like best about the image and the one thing that bugs me the most about this. Let's just start with the bad and get it out of the way. The ring around the tub. It's weird. I am pretty sure it is supposed to be the sidewalls of the tub and that it is supposed to show depth and/or perspective. Assuming I am right, it fails...badly. If that is the inside wall of the tub, an if the viewer is towards the model's feet, the width of the "line" should get smaller. Instead, it gets smaller towards the model. I can't tell you how to fix it...heck, I can't even get $10 for commission, but I can tell you that it's wrong. As far as what I like, I like the steam. Steam is really hard to do well. And this steam is done VERY well. I don't care if it's airbrushed, painted or a computer program application, it's really nice.

I won't elaborate a lot on these additional points, but I will mention them. IF you are going to have the water spigot on the tub, take the time to add the cold and hot water handles. Do all three or none, otherwise it looks wrong. The back ground is, um, distracting. (To be fair, while I don't like it and I find that it takes away from the picture, I am sure others WILL like it as it does infuse the image with some nice colors. Even I like the use of rainbow colors...I just don't think it is a good match for this image.) The cap on the bottle is slightly off center, which I would NEVER notice if you hadn't asked for a critique and I hadn't opened up to full view. And...your model's chin is too pointy. Somewhat typical of characters done in Manga style, so we could just write that up as a purposely chosen style element. The general composition is nice. She looks a lot relaxed and just possibly a little flirty which is good if that is what you are looking for. The hair looks like it is slightly damp which is a nice, hopefully intended, detail. (OK...I went into more detail than I had planned.)
You do nice work.
Thanks for sharing.
