As ever I'll probably still be fiddling with it a while yet particularly the eye detail got that now I think but will upload any newer versions over this post. Cheers.

# Started it at 9am this morning
went at quite a pace, 'cos I feel more like I know what I'm doing now, so much less 'try it and see' than I've been using before.

# Using a graphics tablet and photoshop. I take a picture from online, blow it up to at least double size and put the original by the side,
Take colour samples from the 'middle shade' of each area and draw over the blown up version on a higher layer with background block colours, which is the boring bit, then from then on it's basically 'scribble and blur' for a few hours using the original as a guide to put in the details, but not slavishly, in places I just do whatever feels right or looks good, and keep going till it gets fun!

# Photoshop
Still work to be done on it, just noticed for instance that the top of the hair isn't dipping into the background very convincingly -updated version now does, but this has become a habit now, I post it, then notice something, go 'Oh bugger' and go back into photoshop with it, LOL!

# Nothing would make me happier than if folks were hanging these in their rooms!
But if I were you I would give it till tomorrow, I tend to fiddle with 'em for quite a while after the initial post, tho I guess it could be fun to take a version now and do a comparison!

Anyhoo, I'm taking a tea/resty-hand break for a while now, so it'll be a few before I do any updates...
