cool. job.. looks better to.. I was about to say something about around the outside of the nose but you got it.. I should have expected you would have it this good as quick as it was.. LOL
Ears are still getting a bum wrap.. but thats probably not a problem aria anyway. maybe a little weird on top of the nose.. your probably all on these things anyway.

btw.. looks like your tweaking UV's on the unsmoothed and thin smoothing for the screenCap, or renders. Are you using that mel script for anti UV swim ?
