Myles looks wonderful. I really love the curve of his nose; I think it's part of what makes him look deceptively nice. I'm also all about his jacket, especially the thing going on at the collar; I have this jacket with a really gratuitous collar buckle that I never ever use and this reminds me a lot of that. The subtle little effects are him are also fun.

I'm really glad you added these here, because I totally missed Camilla and Declyn on Discord. These are all great. I love how Ivy and Myles convey a kinda different mood here than in their individual shots; you can tell they're a good partnership, but in this one they look a bit more like they're staring you down. Myles' eyebrows and slightly offset mouth are the star of the show, I feel like; you've really got his attitude down pat. Also love the different pose here, with Ivy looking over her shoulder.

On the subject of stuff being different, I absolutely adore the setting in Camilla and Declyn's shot. You've added just enough detail to suggest a really lush, outdoors background while at the same time keeping it spare so that the focus remains on the characters. The loose pastel brushstrokes give it a sort of watercolor, storybook vibe which is wonderful. For the characters, as always the little details impress; I was struck by Camilla's freckles on her elbows, and the little smudges that suggest they've both been outside and active. Declyn's rocking the one-strapped overalls, too; that must've been tricky to get to look nice with perspective/the book in the way.

I somehow managed to mess up the settings of my main brush but it's okay.

Time for some pretty girls.

I love love love Keisha's hair! They are both very pretty girls, but I think the texture and style on Keisha's hair just stands out.

They look wonderful! The profile look for Kasumi is a cool style, and I like how you've used it to capture different details; her necklace is subtle yet emphasized at the same time. You've also done her earrings well, and I am as usual in awes of your attention to how hair sits and flows; you're great at making it perfectly imperfect, if that makes sense.

On that note, Keisha is also spectacular. You've done really well capturing her unique style, and I'm also really impressed by how you've handled her makeup. The blue color looks almost shiny somehow with how you've blended it, and it really draws focus to her eyes.

As usual, you rock!

AHHH KOTORI KEISHA LOOKS AMAZING, AND SHE WISHES SHE COULD BLEND HER EYESHADOW THAT WELL.

Seriously though, I couldn't have asked for (and gotten) anything better! I'm so, so happy! : )))))

Ooh, they look amazing too. I love how buff Aleks is; you capture a lot just through her neck and upper arms. It also feels like the angle is ever so slightly tilted up, like the viewer has to crane their neck just a bit to look at her face.

Artem is indeed pretty. His locks are magnificent. I like how the simple palette accentuates his features.

I had not seen all the others (and I'm glad you put them here)! Madison looks wonderful. I love the detail you put into her outfit and especially the way she's wearing the jacket; even at rest she's in a very dynamic pose. Also, her shoes are lovely and look exactly like stuff I see around all the time. You always do great with the details.

Declyn and Lorenzo look wonderfully passionate together. I'm glad you posted versions with and without Axel because a. Axel being added is great and made me smile but b. I also really like the focus on the entanglement to be found in just the pair alone. They look very romantic, like they're somewhere between making out and dozing off.

Finally, I think what impresses me about Cecil and Declyn (besides some very nice background work--I'm super awed by your ability to convey the wiggly perspective of a ladder seen through water) is the difference in body type and attitude between two characters who are in some ways fairly similar; Cecil's bigger and thin in a fit way and looks very comfortable without his shirt on, while Declyn feels skinnier in a softer fashion and looks like he's happy more fully dressed.
