Jack, if you just work with her head, you'll find she makes a beautiful character. The shading on the side of her face looks a little messed up. Not sure how much you are into the fine art scene, but just as an image itself, what do you think of that painting? The girl has a haunting look in her eyes that somehow is captivating to me. The artist, Sargent is one of my favorites. If you do like the fine art thimg, check out his works. Above and beyond. The guy is somewhat of an unsung master. Please don't feel bad if I take another stab at these characters. Your Poe knocked it out of the park. The Poe character I was coming up with had some interesting characture like qualities that had their own charm. The realism you captured is beyond my talents but I am interested in persuing the cartoon like Edgar I was comijng up with before I realized we need your skills to really do Poe right. Indeed, you have done him right.
I guess what I'm trying to say is if I take another stab at him or the girl, don't feel insulted or see it as a challenge because it is not. There is a reason why I handed these 2 to you and your end result on Poe sums up why.
The technique of what you did with his hair is outstanding. I like thinking outside the box. You have the same knack for it. Using what limited abilites Putty offers, you have truly achieved.
