Shaded by the Red. I think your vision here, what you're trying to reveal is, well, put simply, the color red. Obvious, indeed. But generally, the shades of red correspond to passion, energy, excitement, love, physical needs and also leadership. Further, we can also explain that it can go toward positive behaviors or negative ones. You look more resolute than angry, right? For all my knowledge, painting a visage in that way, well done but furthermore it's also linear, opaque and furiously paint is closer to aggresion than love. Just like in war times in the American Indian culture. So I think you are going to war girl. So yeah, good vision here and original, because you have materialized an idea, a metaphor.

For the technique, the focus is a tad too much, but it served well the purpose of your intensity. Those eyes, we surely can't miss them, right!? The make-up is perfect and the surrounding darkness and darkish tones fueled the emotion of your composition.

For the impact, I think you're able with that look to wake up the sleeping spirits of War. You're savage and feral. Eyes red like blood, literally! But then again, maybe you're furiously in love!!
