Or, at least a model for aliens.

And a very well lit portrait too, more mysterious than plain scary, which I find an awesome result, considering your model's "looks"  ;D

All kidding aside, this is great work, Cheers, Sander

I completely agree: the lighting is sublime. I'm not sure I'd want a large print of that fellow on my wall :)

Masterfully lit!
I would like some sharper detail, but nonetheless this is a great portrait.

Thanks for your thoughts, everyone. Paul, this particular alien is female. Over the years, my female subjects have taught me that when it comes to fine details, less is more.  ;)

Now that I know she is female, the softness does add a bit of seductive charm to her portrait.

Charm, perhaps; but seductive charm? You're an odd chap, Sir  ;)
