Description
This is my first entry for the Seventh Sanctum Create-a-Diety Contest.

~ This misguided goddess of gates takes the form of a maiden. She has a narrow build. her deep-set eyes are black. She has china-white skin. her outfit is that of a seer, and it is mostly bone-white in color. She carries a halbeird. She can enter or bar entry to anyplace, to anyone.
Special thanks to Fatal-Manits85 for the background tutorial. I'm horible with backgrounds and it was so easy, even though all I have is Photoshop Elements. To see the tut go to: [link]
EDIT: 12/21/05 Contest Closes
Well I didn't get in the top 3 or the honorable mention... but I did get some good comments from the judges. And looking at the other comments that were givin out I think I gave the other contestants a run for their money.
The judges:
DragonScholar: A moody piece, I like the sense of her being withdrawn/confused it gives me.
normadismal1:Loved how he cloak blended in with the sky. This helped to give her the feel of being organically a part of space, thus a proper keeper of any gates in space.
All in all, I think my confidence in entering future contests has been restored. On to the next task at hand!!

OVERALL:
Overall, you've got a good piece. You work with the description, jazz it up a bit with the hair-streak, and then work in the background - which really brings it home. The blending-into-night effect works great, and the contrast really brings the character to the fore - which is good considering she does have a pale appearance.
GOOD:
The general sense of mood and contrast. I also liked the use of an actual pose, not just a simple standing-there - she appears to be doing something.
TO IMPROVE:
The hand holding the halbierd seems somewhat off.
NOTES:
I'd think her skin would be better to be paler, to fit the description, but the general "paleness" of the description does make that hard.
I think seeing her eyes open could have been very neat, as the blackness would provide contrast.
The red streak in the hair is actually a good idea as it provides a dash of warm colors and breaks up the "paleness" of her appearance.
