Hello all!!
I've had a couple of weeks off work and felt in the mood to paint again. Hadn't done anything in a long while, but turned out to probably be the best thing i've ever done (go me!).
I've decided its finished and probably won't go back to it but would still like general crits from you guys an' girls, (particularly on the metal ring bits at the base of her spine, coz' I couldn't really get them to look right) so that I can learn something for my next painting! Paint overs welcome. Thanks in advance, here it is....

wow... is she single?!!
You're right, the metal ring does look a bit off, but I wouldn't have noticed that if you hadn't have mentioned it first. Great stuff.
It's classy! Great stuff indeed; I'd love to see some "work in progress" stages if you still have them!
Vampire!
Very good work, the girls seems to be a High Class Brujah or a low class ventrue :P
Althougth.. I don't like very much the expression of the face.. is strange..
the rings could use some edge defination and sharpness. Her dress also looks a bit odd.
Toreador unless she's a ghoul/wannabe, I'm guessing. I think the problem with the rings is the perspective on the largest one is tilted a bit too far towards the viewer. Bending it more to follow her curves will probably help. Very nice work!
I think you've definitely gone too far without consulting anatomical references. The nice lighting and the juicy colours aren't enough to save the overall impression.
Especially the face is just weird. I think you could start with lowering her nose a bit and reduce some of its thickness at the base. Then do something with her eyes, they're crooked now and don't make sense really.
Her left upper arm is too long, at least compared to her lower arm, and noticably much longer than her right arm.
