Your work has never failed to be awe inspiring for me and this one is no different. First off, what I notice as being the most effective is simply the way you render. It's more painterly then anything, yet it shows your personality through the strokes and various hatches. This has seemed to be somewhat of a staple to most of your work. The subtle strokes and textures seem to give off a "wetness" to the overall feel of this image, especially the skin tone.

The anatomy is nice and believable, while still keeping your style consistent. Honestly, my favorite part of this figure is the hands. Most artists tend to make smaller hands, but you do the opposite, illustrating long fingers and prominent knuckles. The colors you use also give it a nice "fleshy" quality.

Your contrast is wonderful too, reaching the darkest of darks and the lightest of lights in a single image. The lines and strokes themselves help guide the eye entirely through the image so I applaud you on that.

As for constructive crit, the aspect that seems a bit off to me is the teal-colored cross on the left. I get the sense that she is in some sort of cemetery, but for whatever reason, the stark, straight lines of the gravestone seem a bit too contrasting to the figure. Perhaps this is because it looks a bit flat compared to the figure. Even though we are looking dead on at it, there should still be some sort of side that we see to give it dimension. Another little side nitpick would be that the shading of her breasts is a bit too hard. It just doesn't look as believable as her hands/thighs/elbows. Maybe softening that area up would do some good.

Hope that helped!

I think for me it is too strong. Everything is focus point and I don't know where to look at. The main focus is the person or the grave? At first I don't know it s a grave I thought is key or door~haha .lol
Just my opinion. ^^ overall is still good looking just too eye catching.
