hi all
heres an image WIP from me...
welcome any ideas to improve this.
was pretty darn fiddly, as after experimenting, i found that the reflection had to have a different vanishing point to how i started, resulting in a few repaints, and found painting her in two angles tricky.
anyway, im trying to have light coming from behind her in the mirror, so i still need to adjust some foreground lighting over like the suitcases, so that the strongest light point is in the mirror.
anyway, any ideas would be grand, im trying to call it finished soon, so want to use my finishing time wisely :-)
cheers

Great overall picture. Heaps of narrative.Just a couple of things that jhumped out at me tho...
- she has a very mature face in the mirror. From our side, her face seems soft, small, and not very angular. Quite the opposite to whats going on in the mirror.
- thats all I have actually. :) Keep up the good work!

yeah i know what you mean, im still working on the face, have kind of struggled with trying to get the two heads to match, probably a bit more work to go still.
also really struggled with the reflection angles etc....

heres an updated image - decided to call this finished, as my eyes are going square from squinting at this one.
some changes to lighting near edges, changed both heads a bit, thanks shoo for the tip about angularity, i have tried to make her look a little younger and less harsh angles.
also some mirror surface adjustments etc....
i still think the mirror girl looks a little too heavy set, but im over it now.
anyway, im calling it finished before i go insane, might try somehting less complicted next time :-)
