It doesn't really look like you. The nose shape is the same, which is good, but facial construction, eye shape/size, lips, you're sticking too close to your Indigo reference. Mike's edit is very useful.

Thanks Mr Mike and Mr Helm..bleh, I'm lazy and did go in that direction at first. But my knowledge of facial anatomy isn't so good. I will learn and take as much as possible from Mike's edit   :y:

I'm taking an online class on this subject. And I hope it helps my future projects.

EDIT:
Ok studying mike's edit, I understand that most of what he changed is anatomical , this not accounting for the hair as I was trying really hard to get close to what indigo had. Well done Mike, I really should of studied my photo more, and you've done well with the hair.
I should of done something as simple as that, but I hadn't set up the crown and my strains of hair didn't follow as well as yours did.

I ask if I may use yours as I feel that what ever I do it will come out almost exact and would really make me feel as if I've Ripped from your edit. I will change the smallest things though, as I do understand what he's done, dont get me wrong and so to carry on and redo
everything would be pointless.

Thanks for the Hep Guys and I really don't want to work on this anymore  :ouch:
So The final:

Oops, this post was un-needed and un called for.
Apologizes since you had already said you were aware of the copy and pasting.

IMHO you should try it yourself.

Erm so you copy it because if you do it on your own you feel like ripping it?
At least to me, this doesn't make much sense...

Well no, what I meant that if I still got the nearest result, It'll still be considered a rip.
At the moment I'm stuck between doing the whole thing over as I can't see me getting any ware with this, with out you guys saying it looks to much like Mikes or indigo's. And so it will be used as a place holder and only that until I make something that is and can be seen as mine.

I feel bad now...I know I should've only edited a teeny bit.  And yes it is ok, no credit even needed.
