cheerful chap! Funnily enough I'm working on one of my pics at the moment (I don't know if they count as pin-up, more dart-board) and failing at it in a quite spectacular way.

# Nice work
I'll look forward to the finished article. Right now* I'm trying to draw a 'mean and moody' face, but all I'm getting is 'slightly late for a dental appiontment'.

*Actually I'm hanging around on here to put off going back to it.

# Nice work on the shoes the heel back going up to the ankle strap on her left foot is a nice touch
And the whole shape is really nice and proportioned and curves perfectly..
Maybe her gun hand could do with moving a slight bit towards the right of the picture though.

Edit, sorry wasn't going to, but couldn't resist ;-)

# It's a bit like spending 5 hours food shopping,
All day cleaning your house, 6 hours slaving over a hot stove, severing your 10 guests the best meal of their lives in perfect suroundings.
And someone else turns up with a frozen desert and everyone goes "oww wow my favorite".!

this is a work in progress! This is how they look about half way. The stray hair is always the final touch, or it tends to disappear in optimisation.
