Gaia

This is what I've been working on all this time ..well, and some other projectss [which I might put up later].
This was our final project for digital painting. Assignment was to do a self-portrait of you as a character from a story, or from mythology. I chose Gaia cause I love mythology :]
But yeah, so this is me as gaia I was gonna add a macaw on that branch in the left corner, but I thought it might be too much XP haha ..what do you guys think? And any other feedback/constructive criticism is welcome :]! I'm still trying to improve

Oh yeah, and I used a reference pic for the background..in case you thought I figured out that bg lighting all by myself..hell no..way too hard without a reference pic x_x haha

And this fantasy eye tutorial helped me out a lot..check it outt: [link]
