This comment is probably past overdue, but I don't think I made any promises (if I did, I should have known better being the procrastinator I am).

I think this piece remains one of if not the most eye-catching piece in your gallery and the version on the actual site looks even better in its goldish tone and though the "bleed" of the colors there does lose the vector feel of the image that's not a bad thing! In fact, I think the play of the light in the model picture is better translated in the website version than the one here on dA -- there is such a difference in the flesh color of the face and body that it confused me before I looked at the reference picture -- I wanted to point that out in a much earlier visit but couldn't figure out any suggestions of amending it -- I see in the final version that it was worked out quite well.

One thing remains though, the ground shadow looks inconsistent to me; I rationalized that the light-source in the reference picture is about on the floor closer to the viewer off to our left which would cast the shadow behind her at an angle leaning to the right; the ground shadow used in both this vector version and the website version seems to be from a light-source positioned higher and behind her but selectively casting a shadow of her visible hand and boot (if the light-source had been positioned there I think much of the visible arm and legs would be in shadow with illumination from behind).
It doesn't appear too obvious though, maybe it doesn't give that impression to anyone else but me and this is a late comment so you are more than free not to change it if you choose so.

For a step back and final word in this particular comment: commendation to both you and Stacey. And I like how you used a small silhouette of this model in the design.
