Add a little effort in that please!

This pic is from a good friend and my sister's best friend Michelle Seiling, She asked me if I can do a portrait of her just like I did with my face, so me at that time was looking for something to paint took up the challenge AND:


Came up with this...

She looked more cartoony this way, and she lost some of her features because of the transition.
I felt dumb sending this to her, (that and a complaint from deviantart! LOL), So I reworked on this image and came up with a new one...

Thus resulting the final image..
I used references other than that the BG and clothes and body came in my head. It's all in the head really. ;p Painted entirely from PS CS2, wacom intous and my ever so clumsy hands.
