 Not doing so hot with this. First posted it on Punaji, but forum closure to motivate people to only go to the activities section has stalled any feedback I could get from them. Posted on Pixelation, little feedback. Posting it here in hopes to get someone to give me some relevant critique. Oh, and David Stoner's lines:  ------------- http://punaji.com/">

The hair poking out of the bandanna looks strange. I don't get why it's poking out like that, if the bandanna is over the hair not under it. Also the shoes have no black outline which gives it a weird look. Same with the cane. Do you plan on removing the black outline? -------------

Do you plan on removing the black outline? I wanted the cane and shoes to be shaded, but then realized I had to at least fracture the black outline, which looks ugly, so I just got rid of it. I'm not sure if I'll remove the black outline on the rest. Depends on if I'm tired of it by then or not.------------- http://punaji.com/">

Don't know what you seek exactly. If you want her to look more Russian. The head scarves these ladies use are always very busy patterned. The use of 'reds' help convey a Russian look too, tho subtle. One thing that may convey a Russian woman is those 'community/commrade' medals they always seemed to wear on their chest :/ The chin is great on this old bag XD ------------- |

She's got a sort of half face missing type of look. Maybe my perspective's skewed, but she looks like her other cheek isn't there. Is that the style? Maybe that's what's missing. ------------- |

I was just following David's lines. I talked to Zach a bit about it and he gave a good edit and critique of it, and this is what I have as of now. He says she should have gray hair, but I prefer it like this. I might make another version with gray hair though. ------------- http://punaji.com/">

You fixed the problem. :) Looks more 3D now. I'd add some more hair on the left side of her hair. ------------- |
