These are just lovely. I've yakked about #31 at length, but just have to add that the satiny sheen on the skin and the way that sheen is reflected in the background texture is stunning. The soft, perfectly blended edges are a point of astonished admiration for me as well. Also love 6 - awesome work on the smoothing and coloring; love how many colors, including reds and turquoises, you get into the skin tones - and 9, 11, 12, 19, 36, 37, 43, 49, 66, 77, 79, 80. So many - I love them all! I particularly like the bw style you're exploring here (11, 51, 52, etc) - very stark and intense; the high contrast figures against the quietly modulated bgs are understated but dramatic; they pack a lot of tension - I can't stop looking at them.
