WIP -help wanted

[octocat]

Hello!~ I have a piece that I've been working on for awhile that I would like some critique on.
I'm at that point where I've looked at the artwork for so long that it's difficult to see what needs to be fixed, yet I feel like there is something off about it.

[note: some of the food items in the picture are intended to be the female's size, while others are meant to be larger than life]

I can provide more close-ups as well if more are needed to better provide help~

So, any advice/suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I like the idea! I'd suggest adjusting her position. It doesn't look like she's really innn the cup. I can tell she's supposed to be in the cup, but my first impression was that she was behind it. I'd also play with the levels and see if you can shake up your value system and lighting. The light is sort of even and uninteresting. Even a sunny, bright piece like this needs some shadows and midtones. The cup itself looks a bit wompy, but that may be how you intended it. Try flipping your image horizontally or upside down if you haven't already. It will help you evaluate your construction lines and such. Hope this helps and good luck!

Perspective is the biggest problem I'm seeing right now. Her jaw/face is going one direction while her neck is going another. The cup itself is hideously skewed where the curves of the edges do not match up. Try finding some reference for the cup itself and work from there.

You might want to fill a cup or bowl with strawberry pudding and stick an action figure in there to see how the reflections would go. Right now it looks like she's not affecting the pink stuff at all so she looks like a cutout. If the left side of her breasts is in shadow, that means the breasts are blocking the light. So why is there no real shadow cast on the pink goop?

Yep its the perspective that is throwing it all out of whack, plus the eliptical shape of the cup rim is wrong as it comes to a point on the left hand side and the handle is positioned wrong on the other. Sorry mate but you maght have to do some serious reworking to bring this back and make sense of it.
But whatever happens sort the perspective first.
all the best with it whatever you decide.

I agree that the perspective is completely off. Solidity of drawing, proportions and symmetry could be improved too.

My biggest gripe isn't that, though. It's the texture. Everything, from the cup to skin to pink fudge is made from some dull plastic here.

You should get back to the drawing board and figure out perspective, structure, anatomy, and the direction of light, in that order. Then try to paint it in black/white monochrome, to get the feeling of light spot on. Then try color.

Thank you all so much! I'll post my edits from your suggestions some time tomorrow~
List of things to fix:
- perspective of cup
- female's position and anatomy
- more texture to objects
- value

If I were you I wouldn't try fixing these things, I would start all over.
Because if you adjust the cup, you would have to adjust everything else around it, and it's just going to look messy.
