Though the ear came out pretty damn amazing.

The good (and bad) thing about computer art is that the work is never truly "done." You can always go back and add or take or touch up. Like the concept, the horns and ear are awesome. Take a bit more time keeping the skintone inside (most tedious and boring part of this kind of shop/manip I know.) If you use a layer mask put a lot of effort into keeping it clean as you can reuse it over and over again. I tend to use "multiply" when it comes to the initial skintone as it preserves the outline (most of the others tend to fade it out or color over it.)
Aside from that I'd recommend putting a lot of work on the face. It might just be me, but I find it the most important part of this kind of work...I really like the face makeup/tattoo pattern but the single color doesn't blend in enough.
All I did her was add a little outline to the markings, threw in a bit more shading around the eyes for contrast, and did a little work on the edges. (and evidently I cut off her legs...hmmm....)
Liking the whole manip thing right now. Playing with some stuff I learned from the 2ch ganguro and EC threads...fun.
