This so totally rocks! Love the hair! Yeah, fin transitions are rather tricky, I'm still not overjoyed with how I do mine... maybe if it went down in a sharper V angle?

BWAHAHAHA! ............geeze I did nearly paint Ember without a belly button - I deserved that

you saved me big time on that one!!!

With the shift of the body you won't see the actual button but there will be a shade indention there (not shown yet)

and Thank you Darlene

Yeah I'm definately gonna do a scale transition -it's much cleaner in my mind. I'm not gonna dip it down tooooo much though, since I have the creases there it will interfere/muddle it up right there.

Thanks guys

Where have I been since day 1?

The drawing of the upper body is just wonderful, Kris. Love the composition as well. This is going to be one of your best, for sure.

I have to put it back on the three week timeline as they will be out of communicado for a week. So nothing much more than sketching at this point. Still have a jawline/few scales/scarf to tackle.

I already have an ok on the background colors as stated above, so that will get painted, but the ok on other colors will come when they get back.

I'm really likeing her too.
