The skin is nice, the hair looks somewhat natural, but the rest seems to have a general feeling of... what's the word... Frostbite.

But it's really good for a first attempt.

For 1st attempt looks great! Congratz! ;)

It looks good for your first attempt, my only suggestions were...

1. Like rabidmonk said, the skin makes her look dead or something add some pink/tan pigment to her face and it would look alright...

2. I think her teeth are way to bright compared to the lighting of like her sholders/chest... and I think the eye shadow/liner whatever it is needs some more work

But it looks really good for your first attempt...

yea very ncie for a firs attempt, i coudln't do better

dam thats good

Thanks guys. And thanks for the comments on it i will keep your things in mind.
