Say my name, BITCH! Well, I don't actually know what to call this one... I was thinking Southern Comfort but that's pretty weak. All the other titles which I think of would be better suited to another piece so I'm gonna ask your help

Hmm...goin with the whole South thing seems fitting. Maybe something with "Belle"?
Midnight Belle?
oo you know what? "Shadow Belle" sounds kinda cool.

Yeah, my first thought was Funeral Belle (which is what I called goths back in HS) but thought that should be saved for a cemetary background
Shadow Belle is good. Right now I have Joyeux Belle. I'll keep trying and get back to you

Nice, I like that you were also thinking "something Belle". Yeah, keep us posted. The colors rock btw!

Annabel Lee And yes, out of all your renderings of women, this is my fav.

I'll go one better and say this is your best, not only of your works of women but also your work of merging CGI with traditional art (if wrong about the method, sorry).
About the name, with the fruit in her hand and the bare trees in the background and her gothic appearance, I'd probably give this the title of something like, "Eve of the Fall" or "The Eve of the Fall." Or maybe "Eve of Desolation" or "Eve of the Barren"
Just my two cents...
Or if you want to keep with the belle theme, about about, "Belle Fruits" or more elaborate, "Les belle fruits de la forĂȘt de vouloir"? Have been dabbling with french for some time, for personal reason and it is growing on me. So does any of this fancy you, alx?

SilentHero: Not only did you nail the method, that's pretty much exactly how I describe the technique. Unfortunately she isn't holding a fruit anymore... She's meant to be holding a marble orb. But any of your titles would've been spot on had I not dropped the fruit. At least I didn't drop the soap. But thank you for taking the time to help, that really means a lot to me. In fact, thanks to everyone who was kind enough to give feedback On another note, varied reactions to her smaller more realistic bustline; it had a warm reception from many previously silent fans of my work but seemed to outrage some of my other long time supporters. You can't please everyone...

Arigato, Kumi-chan! I feel compelled to explain that I am looking for a title for the piece not the name of the character
Everyone who understood that tried to work "belle" into the title. Amusingly enough, Vio misunderstood but still managed to come up with the name Annabel. Even when he's wrong, he's still right!

...
Belle is in the name, if it was spelled Annabelle Lee it would defeat the reason why I posted the name in the first place.
The name is a reference... Annabel Lee is a poem of Edgar Allen Poe, one of the great Southern poets.

I know who Poe is. Never much cared for his prose but he's like the grandfather of modern horror so gotta give him some props

What about Ms. Angeliqua van-peabody?

That's a northern name! Sounds like a famous abolitionist. She wants something deep south. Anyway, I needed a title, not a name

Her dress reminds me of the Lolita fashion and the colours you used are really beautiful. As for her name, I'm not very good with Southern titles, though I do agree with the use of Belle, it's a pretty typical name for somebody of the deep South and the connotations are all there.
The use of purple also inclined me to suggest something poisonous or tainted: Venom, Toxic, Noxious e.t.c

The dress design was from an EGL* site, so this is not surprising. I'm really glad that you like the color scheme, it sucks to admit this but I really sweat that (the reference was white and black) You'd think an artist would have his color theory nailed but I worry about that every single piece I do. Yeah, I should've thought of that before I quit my day job...
*Elegant Gothic Lolita for those of you who have a life
