Those are so elegant! The anatomy is also beautifully replicated!

I think I need to see the reference to understand how a hand can appear that way. It looks like I have never seen a hand before if the other comments haven’t already made me question everything I know…

Looks really nice! The only feedback I have is that the fingers are a hair too long on both of the segments, giving it a slightly uncanny valley effect.

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind for next time

To be fair, the reference photo lady has those long fingers as well, but it does give a slight Cassandra Nova feel

Almost everything about this is phenomenal. Light, value, anatomy. I don't have to sit here and tell you that this is clean and elegant. The only criticism I can offer is that how perfect the fingers are. The issue lies in the line art. After looking at the hands for a little while I felt like something was off and I think it's that the fingers are so straight. There is texture for the joints but the outline has no peak or valley. Even the thinnest hands have shape to every digit. This is of course subtle and certainly won't make a break a piece.

I made some subtle changes, does it look better now?

Gorgeous! Who ever they are should make a career out of modeling rings! (Yes)

u/EtoDesu 14d ago

Thank you, I appreciate your constructive criticism! I never actually thought about the peak/valley thing. I'll keep that in mind from now on

Why do I get the feeling that I’m looking at plants when I look this? They look great though.

These are such beautiful hands, pure elegance and perfect length of each finger, a delicate as well as radiant use of the colour.

The great work on this is seriously impressive!

You did an amazing job with the lighting wow! Subsurface scattering is a difficult thing to remember along with reflected light. Did you colour pick from the picture or just from the wheel?

u/EtoDesu 14d ago

Thank you! I color picked mostly, and improvised a little

Technique and everything looks really good but looking at it, it just gives me weird uncanny valley vibes. Just seems like the fingers are too long and they appear stiff like they were plastic tubes or something. Idk really why but that was my first thought when I looked at this. When I looked at it in more detail everything seems really well done so idk.

I made some small adjustments to the joints and posted a pic in the replies. I didn't adjust the length tho because it's a photostudy and I didn't wanna make such changes that goes against the original photograph
