    Nice shots and character, the best shot here is by far the last but one where she is drawing the bow, but a good main image that would not make because its too dark. most of the best images I have ever done have been too dark for a main image one reason amongst many why I post sets than individual images.
    I think if you try to make original characters and can some how create an original style of images you will stand out amongst the rest. I did create my own style, different and many people have been influenced by that style and took it and pushed further than I could, but i just do my own thing and not worry about it and that's what you should do, make images you likeand share it and don't worry about success or not.
    The image you refer to in your sticky I had already endorsed because it caught my eye and is fully deserving of those endorsements. So don't worry about endorsements concentrate on how you can improve your images to how you want your images to look. The best critique is yourself and if you have made yourself happy then sod everyone else.

    Their is correct although I don't really like being pedantic ;) I must say here that I prefer Siobhan without the Forsworn makeup. To me it detracts from her beauty. You've created quite a gorgeous looking character and it would be a sin to hide it under the stuff they use.

    Can't wait to see her story.

      The warpaint itself isn't meant to be just for when she's with the Forsworn, she also uses it in large-scale battles (like the Battle for Whiterun, for example.) I actually tried more delicate warpaints before deciding on these 2 for her face, and the one on her body. The important thing to remember about Siobhan, is she doesn't care for beauty (and is even oblivious that she is beautiful,) and was born and raised by an almost savage tribe of Nordic nomads. (This side of her has yet to be showcased in her backstory posts, however.)

      Thank you for the lovely comments, though! It took a while for me to get her face the way I wanted it.

    As Neo aptly pointed out, I also love the subdued soft lighting in these portraits.
    Nicely done. Kudos

    I love the subdued lighting on these shots. It really lends an air of sneakiness and mystery to them. The one with the emerald amulet is really nice work, the emerald really looks as if it has an inner light to it. The shots with her as a forsworn are especially nice. Partially because the forsworn don't get much coverage here and you show them in a kind of positive way which is even more unusual. But they are also just really fine shots, the last is kinda secretive but also "up close and personal" in a sensitive compelling way. Bravo !

      Thank you for your lovely comments! The emerald amulet actually has a soft glow in-game. I agree, the Forsworn don't get the attention they deserve. Not much is known about them, but from the lore I've read, I side with them on the current Reach debacle. (They were basically peaceful tribes-people until the Empire took their land and the Hagravens corrupted them with promises to win the war against the Imperials/Nords.) The Skyrim Romance Team actually made a really well done video about their lore (it's a good video even if you're not into the whole romance mod bit,) and I did make these shots somewhat dark and secretive on purpose! My character has a lot to hide, her mysteries backstory is being told out of order in other posts on my page. :)
