The colour scheme is very nice and striking and I really love how the wispy the hair is. The red is tilted to the left a lot, but I think it fits because of the way her body is positioned?

I agree, I think the flat coloring really works for this piece. It's a bit eerie, though, and I think that's what I like about it! Very good work

Aug, late comment. But here I go. =3=

First of all, I think the idea itself is really cool,
probably because sunflowers are my favorite kind of flora. xDDD
But here's the thing, I'm actually working on an overdue piece that involves sunflowers,
and every time I look for drawn reference I always see the bright yellow sunflowers,
not that it's a bad thing, but I just rarely see them in a different color,
which makes this so unique.

And I really agree with you about the flat colors, it looks absolutely gorgeous here!
Although you did mention that getting these colors was not at the least bit easy,
it's really nice that the 'blood' is a sort of pink color,
but it shows up very well against the desaturated turquoises.

I do think the image is rather imbalanced and although I really really like this piece,
it kinda makes me un-easy, like it feels like something's missing. D:
For one thing, all the red is concentrated on the left side of the image.
The left side also has more irregular shapes or jagged edges
as opposed to the right side that has the smooth and round stems of the sunflowers.
I think one way that can be fixed is by extending the stems,
so that there's a bit more negative space between her back and the stems/leaves.
Or maybe if you added another flower or something that's red there?
Her hair also makes the right edge feel slightly crowded, so widening the canvas there may help the composition too.

One last thing, maybe it's because of the greys,
but the lineart on the stems/leaves don't stand out very well and all that beautiful detail gets kind of lost.
So maybe thickening or changing the colors there by a tad would do the trick?

Anyhow, I really really like the whole thing and I love your art,
so I'm always happy to see that you've updated something. XDDD

Awesome style and colours!

Alright, so i feel a little awkward commenting on this, seeing as you want 'advanced critique', and I wouldn't dream of ever putting myself in the catagory of people who are any good at this, but I also realize that not commenting wouldn't allow me to say how much I love this.

So, first of all, you have my utter admiration for being able to find the correct colour red to go with that green. You may have spent all day on it, but I think it was worth it. It's just vibrant enough to really pop, but not so much that it hurts (you know, when colours seem to vibrate and they make you squint).
The hair is absolutely beautiful. It's so delicate, and helps to keep you eye in the picture, as well as leading your eye around (supported by the rest of the composition).
The little flip flops are a nice touch, the keep the sunflowers from making the picture too top heavy (if that makes sense) and on top of that, they make me smile.
I'm glad you didn't shade it, it might have taken too much attention away from the elegant line work you're done. (I wish i could do outlines like that...)
All in all, I'm looking for something to critique, but really, I can't; it's just an all round great picture. I'm just wondering about one thing, did you use paths for her hair?

I hope that wasn't too terrible of a read...

awesome
