ya sooo
tried to make an edit for you...
not sure how usable it will be
(got rid of the purty dithering, because i wanted to show form more-so - you can re add it later)

never played with female face structures much
but i tried
also - smile was difficult, not sure i got it right for you

i was hoping to give you better facial structures
but it may have come out manly
its really harsh - but thats because i didnt blend anything. i BELIEVE, thats along the lines of what you should do
then with blending and such it should make it less harsh and more femine


hopefully that helps alittle
didnt touch the neck
not too keen on the colours
not a fan of the hair

---
EDIT
---
actually, looking back at it
eyebrows i think should be alittle higher, and more arched

Marvelous work, as I already mention. :)
That are only things i could find scratchy - lower lip and unsmiley eyes.
Tried to edit - not good on faces though, might not be an improvement at all.

nononono flaber. No. Oh god no. That's plastic surgery gone wrong. Looks like the joker. Too much light on the top of the lip, too much accent and curve on the end of the lips, eeek

I did a fast paint over on one of the pictures. Not sure if it was the latest update, but I changed this:

-Made face thinner (jawbones and chin)
-Changed eyebrows and pulled them up about 2-3 pixels
-Changed the eyes slightly
-Pulled nose and mouth down and put them closer together.
-Changed the mouth making the lips thicker, and changed the smile.

Also I think the outlines around eyes and mouth pretty much make it look less realistic.
Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot for these edit's guys, I've still got a ton to do on this to make it look how I wanted it to, slowly but surely getting there  :lol:, I've learned a lot so far.

I like how you've edited her face shape Panda, I'll definately take that into account, also her eye's look so much better than my recent update, it really highlights what exactly is working about this piece, and what isn't. The eyebrows fit better and I do agree bigger lips would work wonders. It's a different style to what Im working on but there still is a lot I can take from this, TY  :D

I was trying to sway this more to the likeness of someone I know, but I just realised it looks nothing like her so I guess that free's me up to play on the way she looks more.  :-X

thanks fool, wasn't 100% sure on how the eye's should look, tried lookin in the mirror to see the expression but I just wrinkle up around the eyes, wouldn't transfer into a girls very smile well, god, gettin it right is such a pain.  :'(

flabber, your edit looks very cheeky  :lol: , I think it looks too feline but I do think I should work on the face-shape and work on the lighting more in some areas. thanks for taking the time to make an edit.

I was thinking of making her hair 'shorter', any chance anyone could give any style suggestions? i've got a few reference pictures on hair but any suggestions would be great.

I may tweak the palette again, still not 100% happy with it.
I've not got anything interesting to type here..

The dark outline on the left side of the lips in between them really is catching my eye in a bad way. I'd really suggest getting rid of it or replacing it with a not so dark color.
