Perspective is hard. I’m struggling with it as well. I disagree with some of their points - especially the last sentence - and I certainly disagree with their tone. Scrolling through your profile, you obviously have a lot of skill and a good eye. And I think I know exactly what your title means.

It’s a reference to a horror movie trope, so the “final girl” is the girl in the horror movie who survives and kills the bad guy when all the other young people get killed, like in the Friday the 13th movies.

This is a cool drawing and could be used as a reference for a tattoo drawing, but I can see many places where it would not work for tattooing. This is constructive criticism only and not meant to put you down in any way.

Some of the finer details would either not be realistic to tattoo at a reasonable size, or would blend together as the tattoo ages. The white fringes on the cloak for example, where they go over the black shading, these would merge together and not be visible. You really want to minimize the addition of small white areas surrounded by black when you are designing a tattoo.

If you want I can take this, use it as a reference and redesign it into something that would be tattooable?

Vanishing lines/perspective points don’t match.

The delineation between the wall, tile, and water is sort of nebulous and hard to parse.

No reflection on water.

Water level doesn’t match.

Top of the head is oddly flat.

Tongue doesn’t make any sense. Nor do the irises.
this may have been deliberate, but I can’t tell, so listing it.

Don’t get me wrong. Not saying your work is bad. Shading is fantastic and I think you have something to convey that is awesome. Don’t know what the hell you meant with the “penultimate” but no biggie. But the foundation needs work. Vanishing lines first is my recommendation. If you mess those up everything feels off. Good piece though.

Oh also no chin or jawline to speak of, and actually doesn’t look like a girl at all.
