Paulo's next photoshoot

Update 7.10.2011 : thanks to I have learned more about colors, so I reworked this one and while i was at it I changed the face and some parts of the body and stuff at the background, she looks better now whoohoo

*******************

this is, as promised, my dedication for a wonderful artist and good friend, the sea-king, Paulo . I hope you like your hot babe waiting for you by the sea ...

This has been quite a challenge for me, painting the sea ...
I loved painting the drops on her body, drop by drop.
My reference was a similar painting for the body I once downloaded from the internet but I changed quite a lot and repainted her entirely for about 16 hours.
So yes, it is a benign case of plagiarism because I learned how to do water surrounding her from this painting.
Several times I thought of abandoning this one, as it was so difficult to do. But even if I am far from perfect, I enjoyed myself and learned a lot and that is the most important thing, isn't it?

There are probably lots of mistakes here in the lighting and such, but for the moment I cannot do better.

Thank you all for your kind comments, and favs and advice and all the support I usually get here from all my friends
