Shadow, man, shadows.



That ear could have turned out a lot better, but I just ran out of time.



It's going to be a bit daunting when I can't use that excuse anymore after this is all done, heh.



But yes! The ear. Her ear does not have a stripe on it, no matter what it looks like there. Or rather, the stripe was intended to be an inner ear area, but I just ran out of time to create volumetric shadows to define its inner shape correctly. Bleh.



Not a fan of the lips. I wish I could say it was just an area I marked up and didn't get around to, but that was about as done as I was going to make them.



A key problem for me continues to be pixellated edges due to hard line select and then filling in with something completely opaque. It's particularly noticable at the front of her hair, the bridge of her nose, and her chin area.



Something to continue worrying about.



I was hoping to mess around more with the custom brushes I made, but I had to live with just the blotchy background and the thin strands you can see in her mane.



Also, the way I shaded her face makes it look like it's a flat rock that I just painted over. Accurate, in one way, but not very good for giving the impression of a round noggin.
