*sniff* Thanks again.

the next time you delete your images you will not get this opportunity to have them on the front page again... nor get your awards still intact :)

Pretty good, but the big patch of dithering on the jaw rather bugs me.

Thanks, I'll make a revised version(with additional shades(because I really felt I could need another two here and there while I made it) and the neck and eyebrow corrections as you suggest) after the challenge is over.

I think you could make the neck a little less thick... (especially on the left side for us). Also, you could make the eyebrows a bit less grainy or more visible... Other than that a very nice piece

Thanks for the encouragement and crits fellow pixellers. :)

skeddles: I think that the angle at which this is drawn can lead to the impression of the nose that you read. I tried to fix it a little in my update but in general I think that's just the way a human nose looks from below. Do you think it's better now? (I think it is.)

Rock3go: Thanks, I changed the lighting around the lower mouth area to adjust for the perspective. I hope it's ok now.

This is one of the best entries I've seen, to be honest. Excellent job!

Is good!!  I like how the background is a different style and separates very nicely from the foreground!  Good job!

Muy bien diseñado, aunque en la expresión la boca esta un poco fuera de perspectiva, el arte es muy bueno, felicidades 

Hell yeah! this came out great!

Very much awesome. Though the nose looks kinda like Penelope...
