Another portfolio question...

[hwango]

Last time I asked about my portfolio I accidentally distracted people from my real question, which was what I should paint in the time I had left before the con. Based on replies, though, it seemed like I needed a piece with a complete background. I decided I was low on people, and had no female subjects, so I painted the samurai.

First, is she good enough to take with me? If not, is there some way to improve the piece so she is?

Second, I've got less than a week - is there anything in particular I should try to paint in that time? Another landscape? Some horrible monster? If not, I'll just try to get the Avatar of Silliness done in time.

100% improvement on the hair, though I'd take out that one flyaway piece that's coming out of top of her head. It looks more like a stray mark than hair.

To submit is as a scrap, select "no category" as a the category. Why the hecks its called that on the Submissions page while being called Scraps everywhere else, I have idea.

Thanks - I agree that it looks better, but I doubt I would have thought of it on my own.

The whole "Scrap" thing is very counter-intuitive. Good to know for the future, though.

I've been poking at cityscapes to see what I'd be in for. Were you thinking a view across the tops of the buildings, or from a skyscraper down to street level?
