This is really cool. I really like the rendering of the fabric. Some cool hues and values in there, nice drapery rendering. I'm curious how you got that out of your last piece. I'm guessing your taking the idea that we were talking about painting over your last speed painting each week?

One thing I've noticed about your paintings lately is that your use of texture brushes can sometimes make the image look muddy or fuzzy. Like the skin, for example. You've put some beautiful lighting and volume there in such a simple way, the texture seems to distract from that. If you took the smudge tool in photoshop you could probably fix that pretty easily. But I imagine you probably work that way so you can rough out the art more quickly.

I'll give that a shot smoothing the skin could also give it a bit of focus.
