hey minstrel - this is definitely coming along.

definitely agree with funky bunnies concerning the eyes - how did you make them? do you have a seperate transparent sphere for the lens, as i think that that will really help giving them a realistic highlight.

i also think that it might help showing her against something other than a black background - maybe if you changed the camera's background color to a light grey - i think that that would help us get a fresh look at it.
