Description
Hecate is the Greek goddess of the crossroads. She is usually seen with two ghost hounds that were said to serve her. Hecate is most often mispercepted as the goddess of witchcraft or evil, but she did some very good things in her time. One such deed was when she rescued Persephone, (Demeter's daughter, the queen of the Underworld and the maiden of spring), from the Underworld. Hecate is said to haunt a three-way crossroad, each of her heads facing in a certain direction. She is said to appear when the ebony moon shines.*

crit: Her right arm/hand seems like it didn't get the same attention that the hand holding the light trinket got, I think her right arm/hand don't seem as well defined in form because the difference in lighting and lack of shadow compared to the other arm being hit with that warm lighting.
The warm light coming from the right side of this image doesn't seem too consistent when hitting the figure. It's hitting the arm/hand and her left cheek side pretty hard. It might be nice to see it hit the hair and give it a slight glow/light effect and maybe just a bit showing up on that trinket she's holding.
Very Nice work,

One crit, though: There are stars where the dark side of the moon should be. The moon will block the light of those stars.

I like the colors you used & the lighting.

But I agree with Andy-Jones this is a fairly common style
The colour choices are excellent, with those subtle green lightspots a nice touch
I would suggest to remove some stars just under the visible part of the moon, the nonvisible part would cover the stars

She's gorgeous!
But she looks a little scared to me.
I love the colours.
Good job.

I must say,I use no ref with the girl(so you could find some defects,like the right hand and the shoulder),I used an olny reference is the moon.I repainting it at photoshop.
The flower and the grassplot ,I used many custom brushes,in three different layers.
After all,I will draw some anthropotomy sketches,to do my best in my other paintings.Thank u again.

Superb atmosphere, and her expression and her lamp really finish it off nicely. Your concentration of detail in the places that matter is masterful. You didn't quite pull it off in your other images but this one is expert in that area.
IMO the moon should be bigger and lower down and the top 15% should be cropped. Still, that's a relatively minor matter.
My first +10 this year.

The girl stands still doing nothing but the viewers can feel many things deep inside.
The colour combination is really unwashed.

BRILLIANT soft-focus grass/shrubs by the way. Sort of thing that makes me jealous
