This is really beautiful. I love the variety of contrasting colors, very nice. I especially like how her violet hair contrasts with her magenta skin - really interesting color (well, I know it's darker than most magentas, but I couldn't think of a more accurate color). The bits of gold and the pink of the flower in her hair also contrast well, and add a nice variety of tones. The blue was also a good choice, as this cooler tone works well, balancing out with warmer magentas and pinks. Additionally, the pose is great: it is feminine and soft, while still being attractive to the eye, as it is not common, and therefore, unique. Of final note are the various accessories she has, which help to not only add detail and visual interest, but also help to subdue the intense magenta (which I noticed is significantly shaded so as not to be blindingly intense, a very clever technique which helps make a character with such vibrant tones easy on, and appealing to, the viewers eye).

So, yes, it is quite beautiful. Nice work!

wow, thank you!
That is the most lovely critique I think I ahve ever gotten!
I am a complete color whore and I LOVE it in all forms, and I work hard to try and find the balance, and like you said, you noticed my trick to get the magenta not too overpowering.
Its funny becasue the Tribal Belly Dancers (including myself) usualy go for the Blacks and dark colors, becasue of the way the dance is done, and like I said, I am just in LOVE with color.
And the flower, yeah I ahve a whole Bush of Hibiscus outside my window, that always makes me smile.
Thank you again!

You're welcome!! And, yeah, I'm kinda a color-whore, too. =P I just love having really strong, contrasting colors in pieces, and even though my favorite's black, I still try to do pieces in wide variety of intense colors.

So, yeah, you're welcome! And again, really nice work. It's very beautiful.
