My first character (Fantasy Female)

Hey, I'm sure you're all probably sick of people posting their 'first character' threads.....especially one from an SM video tutorial! Ah well! user added image

In the past (~3 years ago when I was 17) I used maya for a little bit, but I only ever started making human heads. And they were pretty rubbish, which is why I was never particularly inspired to develop them further. Well now I've got the modelling bug again, and I'm determined to become an expert at maya! Haha, might take me a while! Well here is my first attempt at creating an entire character. I'm following Kurt's excellent "Fantasy Female" tutorial for this at the moment - but I like to watch large sections of video absorbing as much information as I can, then work on my model afterwards. I find this way good as it A) is more interesting than copying tweaks on a vertex-by-vertex basis and B) allows me to actually learn a lot more about what I'm doing. Enough jibbering, here are some pics.....

Any constructive criticism would be great. Thanks for looking!
