I saw there were no comments on this piece so I thought I would give you some feedback (being an artist myself I know it is helpful to receive feedback). The way you manipulated the textures and colours her skin seem as if she was created from an amalgam of light, wind, and liquid as if she has transcended humanity and become something more. The moist surface of her eye gives the impression of reflection and life; it is almost as if she is watching the blinding sunrise of another world and the light begins to engulf her and her surroundings. I very much enjoy this piece (as you can tell ;) and would love to see you continue to create. Regarding your specific technique of smudging,it has intrigued me and I might start to incorporate such techniques as well. 5/5 all the way.
