I have made some detail changes, color changes, and created different versions for use in other profiles: 50, 100 and 128. The 100 and 128 are modified so that there would not be any 'ugly' pixels around.

                               
                                   




Any suggestions about what I could change to improve it more?

I think you could use some more contrast in the hair. Highlights and make the individual strands stand out. The right cheek (looking at it) seems a bit too flat, but maybe it's just me. Also the smile seems a little off. Maybe bring the upper lip down a bit. I'm no expert, so you should probably get some more input. Hope i'm helping.

Thanks for the reply!



I agree the lips look a bit awkward, so I played with them a bit more. It resulted in the jaws being raised to compensate for the less open mouth.

Also I have moved the right eye and changed the colors.

Thanks again for your opinion, I think I will be submitting it as it is!
