that is really good, maybe make her lipstick kind of glow(just my opinion but it would make the sig stand out more )

Thank you. The lips were very lite pink so I went in with a red overlay at the very beginning. Ill find the stock and post it tomorrow.

On the left side, I see uncoordinated brushing/smudging/blur and it's only noticeable when observed for awhile. I noticed either the very edge of the image on the left side was transformed to actually fit the contents of the canvas or went unattended. The grunge-like brushing kind of distracts me n the right.

The contrast is great, however that in itself is in contrast to the title 'Darkly Dreaming'. Her hair seems to stand out more than anything, but that varies from person to person.

The side transformations were actually from displacement maps. The title Darkly Dreaming came from my love of the tv and book series Dexter, she just kind of reminded me of an evil dream afterward. Thank you for your advice it is greatly appreciated.

on a side note: There were only 3 splatter brushes used, no grunge at all.
