Hey dear Vermi, how are you? I'm glad you had time for yourself and your art. What a nice gesture from him.
Your photos are great but your art is fantastic too, it is very fresh and expressive.
I really like what the shadow contrast looks like, it's a big risk, but you found a balance. Even, I realized that you made the tendril a little smaller on the dark side, it's a nice touch, as if the girl were two different people.

I agree with you, I loved the eyes, Ohhh! and the lips look very fleshy lol.
