K, here\'s a few things that should be fixed on her.
Overall, the piece is too bulky. The brow is way too pronounced, the nose is too blocky or \'manly\', the chin is too big, the ears are too thick and the mouth is too large and bulky. The eyes are also a bit to high. I did the same damn thing on TDC, didnt correct it and now I kick myself even though I knew it when I sculpted it, just too stubborn to fix it when I had the chance. Also, the detail you have added looks a bit too uniform and should have more of a natural flow to it. All the features need to be toned down. You can follow the comments "she looked manly, great job" and settle for the way it is but the fact is, is that she didnt look manly. Women have much softer features and so should this piece. A major flaw and something that will bite you in the ass is that you started the detail before the sculpture was properly blocked out. Another would be the armature you\'re sculpting on, you\'re not going to be able to dig in like you should. Like I mentioned earlier, a female piece doesnt match up with your style of sculpting. Sure, you can pull it off but it\'s going to take patience. Like I said, you can settle with the way it is and sell a few or you can dive back in it and sell a ton. I have tried to offer my help to you publicly and in private PM in the past but you can take this as me being an asshole or trying to help. But honestly, I am in fact trying to help. You did ask for a critique. I wish people would have been that honest with me on past pieces.
