>>10307Big agree, very cute. Winning smile, too!
>>10299I've got a twitter and a Tumblr I've been inactive on, perhaps I'll try building a portfolio there. Might sign up for Bluesky while I'm at it. If/when I do, I'll drop links here for y'all.
>>10309You're off to a better start than many, as you've clearly separated the subject from the background. While I applaud your efforts to change the aspect ratio to provide enough room to include the entire edit, the resulting warp makes the perspective feel very strange. This isn't helped by the copyright text being obviously stretched. don't be afraid to push some stuff out of frame; it can sometimes even make your edits feel bigger.
The two biggest 'issues' I'm seeing here are the wavy wrinkles/stretchmarks on the top of her thighs just below her cheeks.
-Straightening your strokes out will go a long way to making the edit feel more realistic. If you're using photoshop, check out the Smooth brush (just under the Forward Warp tool). Once you have the shape you're roughly going for, wave the smooth tool over the rougher parts of your edit. It'll contract things a bit, but it does a good job of averaging the overall edit lines.
-I understand the initial desire to keep her calves and feet in the frame, but if she really was that large, it's likely her ass and thighs would block our view of those. Selecting less than the entire leg will free you up to make more convincing changes. It's kinda hard to visualize your edits in three dimensions, but with time and practice it'll become second nature.
Hope this helps, and I look forward to seeing more of your work!
