Hmm. Quake, your edit definitely makes the skin more smooth, I think, but it's just too dark for me. xP I tried making the midtone a bit lighter instead of making the light tone darker. Dunno if it really accomplished much though. :/
I feel like I'm reaching the point where I can't do much more on this piece. Or maybe I'm just sick of looking at it. XD Anyway, I need to start constructing it out of cardboard soon, so I'll call it done wherever I'm at with it by Saturday evening.
