I'd love to do a standing nude like this. Although I would have a little more light.

I'd pick this one. I like the palette, although I'd some warm highlights to you to bring you out from the background more.

There's some wonderful posing in your portfolio, but almost all of it is against a black background. It works well for photography, but I think paintings require background/context--even it's very simple.

I'd pick either of these two. I like the composition of both a lot.

This one could be really classic looking with a more medieval looking dress and some gilding.

Maybe a strange pick, but I think this could work well in a loose, illustrative style.

This is a really attractive profile. I like how her hair falls, but you can still tell the shape of her face.

I like this one quite a bit, although I'd have to add a context. I wish a little more of her figure were evident beneath the fabric as well.

Yours is challenging. There's some good stuff, but not stuff that's necessarily good for painting. However I really like the concept of this one, with your figure behind the sheer and the eye makeup in similar colors. I'd rather have you look away and there'd have to be some sort of background.

Blah blah, background and context. And now I get to contradict myself: this would work as is. Large. I mean huge.

I love your hair in a lot these. I'd choose this one. The pose is cool but would be impossible to hold for painting. However I wouldn't wash out the colors so much. I also wouldn't crop so tight so I could get your entire figure in the work.

I'd choose this one. But it's a good example of something that makes a decent photograph that doesn't necessarily make a good painting. It's also a good example of why using photographs for references is not as good as a live subject.

Because the lighting is so even, your face would register as very flat in a painting. There's very little light and shadow to contour your face. It's also impossible to register subtle color differences that would provide contour to your face in such even light.

Lastly your foot is out of focus because of the very shallow DOF. Fine for a photograph, but I think having it in focus would "complete" the figure of a painting and give the whole thing more depth.

I would pick this one. Again, I'd warm up your colors to pull you out of the background. And I would probably put some silhouettes in the tunnel/light to add some interest and story.

This could be interesting with a little more light. It'd be fun to render the various colors tinting your skin tones.

You have some really strong stuff. I especially like the ones with more than one model.

I'd pick this one. I really like the palette and love the idea of full body portraits. I would kill myself trying to paint that shirt.
