Im not sure I care care for the face yet. When i look at it, the lips seem sunk in, almost as if the subject just had wisdom teeth pulled on her bottom jaw, and its all swollen.Also, it almost looks like the complete eye 'assemblies' are a bit big. Every guy loves a chick with big beautiful eyes, but it almost looks like the eyes are as big as the mouth.
(i should refrain from saying this, but because we are a big family here, I can.....who ever heard of a woman with a mouth that WASNT big??? ) That was meant as a joke, if it offends anyone, I , or a mod can delete that comment. Dale

I have to agree with Dale on this point.

Ok , Jeff I can see you have made improvments. but her nose is still to big. and her mouth is inviting. but to big. and those eyes are still quilted. gosh my friend. can't you make them more refined. like you did her body. you did a great job on that. but the face should say mmmmmmmmm Hi honey not come here go away. no face is better than a scary face. thats a idea. no face. maybe just hair flowing over it.submessive. ark ark.

I don't understand why you need to be so mean evie. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I appreciate peoples feedback, but lets not forget that you are looking at a photograph of a 3 dimensional image that blends into itself. If you were able to look at her in real life, she doesn't look bad at all. And sure, there's still possible changes, but you can change a face all day long and never please everyone. What I know for sure is that I am my own worst critic, and I am finally satisfied with this face. And I think the new eyes look great. They give her a Cleopatra style of a look.
Heck, just to prove my point, you say her mouth is too big, Dale says her mouth is too small. The chin is the only part of her face that I'd agree isn't the greatest, but it's pretty much unrepairable. I have absolutely no formal training in carving, and it's not the size of the chin that is the problem, it's the way it is shaped. If a person studies themself in a mirror, you'd be surprised at just how wide a persons jawline and neck actually are. The human face is a difficult object to shape to, it's a flat spot on a ball basically. The bigger the picture, and the thicker, the easier it is to tackle, but this womans face is only 4 inches wide, if that, but here we are seeing it much larger on the computer screen.

Gosh Jeff, I sure didn't mean to be mean. I just think you could do better on the face. you sure did a great job on the frail, and intament body. but the face is still lacking. you took great mesure in smothing out the body. little tiny feet. and arms and belly. but the face is saying , well something else. the legs are lovely, and long. as the arms. even the arm pits are inviting.you have the nippales down pat. standing up right. with such sugjestion. but the face says. what you think. big mouth. big nose. dead eyes. and wide forhead. yes the face is the most diffacute fetuer to potray. but I think a blank face is better thank a well. not so good one. sorry if i offend you. sorry my oppion

Don't worry yourself to much about it Evie. I'm looking for feedback, but I'm looking for feedback that has suggestions and idea's attached to it. The people that say her eyes look boggled, the nose is too big, that sort of stuff is what I want to hear. I don't want to here people that just say she looks nasty. I am totally aware, that not everyone will ever agree to the same conclusion, because what one person considers to be a hot chick, might not be to another person. The person that says her chin looks too wide like she just went to the dentist, that's a fair comment and I partially agree with that one. I'm on the fence about the nose, but I am now happy with the eyes, mouth and forehead. I have her sitting on hold right now while I try and come up with a solution to fix her chin/jawline.

Hopefully the name ideas will keep coming.

I was showing what I have so far to a good friend and was telling him about the Artimis name. He was saying he never heard of it, and a few other people including myself are clueless as well, although personally I was able to look it up and see. It's a good name, but like he says, if nobody can figure it out, it's not the best choice. He was telling me that when he looks at her, it makes him think of the fall, when the leaves are falling off the tree's. I like that analogy. His first suggestion was "Calm before the Storm", and his second idea was " Autum's Caress " ...refering to the season slowling caressing the leaves off the tree's. I think that second idea was pretty slick. Any opinions on that, or any new ideas?

And you are getting that Jeff. There is a lot of good feedback in this thread from detailed suggestions to change small pieces of the face and different body parts to suggestions that it would look better with a blank face.

When I ask for feedback, I value ALL of it, not just the ones I agree with.
