I support this counts as an image, I started playing with illustrator a few days ago, how's this looking?

That's pretty cool. From imagination, or is there a model?

I hate to be critical, but you forgot to add color.

Um, even in greyscale it looks fabulous.

I should take more time to learn Illustrator. If only I can get my two-month-old desktop to work again.

half model/half imagination, I'll try colour sooner or later but I want to get a better grip on shading in b+w first.

Illustrator is great fun, while this is fairly 'straight' work, you can be really creative as well and turn out some pretty stunning effects.

i like it. It's got drama.

The hands are a bit man-ish

The nose and chin area seem a bit disproportionate to me. But it's a beatiful style overall.

[jaguar]

The nose is looking a tad big, yea the hands look a little man-handish but getting them to work at all was work enough, they were mostly from scratch so I'll live with it

This is concept work of sorts for a project (which is also why there is the wierd tatoo-thing on her arm) and partly just learning how to use vectors with a modicum of skill.

I dunno about the illustrator stuff at all....but if you was inking this thing... the shade/tint action around the eyes is a bit wierd- the lack of eyesockets. that effects the nose foreshortening too. you could also do with some subtle contouring/shading around the collar bone/ neck area. Good image though...

[jaguar]

I tried eye sockets, I found the effect too heavy but you're dead on, I need to do a more subtle job of it. Some more stuble shading in a few areas might help, I might go back and have some fun with the airbrush.

Maybe a darkened upper lip, too? or varied contoured line between lips? Getting dimension with the stark graphics is very tricky. But fun to play with, eh?

[jaguar]

The line actually does have a fair bit of variety, a fair bit of detail is lost here, it works best at A4/300DPI or so but once again, you're right the top lip could do with some more shading, thanks! You're really useful.

[jaguar]

Better, worse? What needs adjusting.

The under eye shadows bug me. maybe the shade the side of the face?, temples? neck looks better. the light source is a bit inconsistent from tank top to face and shoulders. (Right top in shadow) ...? Fiddle fiddle.
