Just thought I'd share this! It was my first attempt at a follow-up picture to Amelia Prime. I spent hours and hours on it, but just couldn't get it looking right - the hair ended up even more overexposed than Amelia, and I faffed around with the reflection to the point where I couldn't seem to make the eyes look right - they went a bit panda. And if I've learnt anything in Photoshop it's that if the eyes are wrong, the rest of the pic probably will be too!
I could have continued and perhaps salvaged it, but I decided it wasn't looking enough like Amelia on a fundamental level, so I started again with a different pose and better lighting, and came up with what I think is a better result. Still, I thought this was still worth sharing just for fun, if only to show the creative process a bit. So I slapped a few filters and colour effects around to make it a little better!
