When I saw the thumbnail of this, I was wondering, "Did she break the rules and upload a celebrity photograph???" I was THAT impressed--this image really is starting to look like a real photo! I really am impressed with this.
My only complaint (and believe me, ONLY, since I LUV JD) is that the image is rather large, and took an awfully long time to load on my dinosaur of a computer. Other than that, I have no complaints! Beautiful image, keep it up!
Hm, you went to the other side; the facial hair's too liney, now. Look for "Anti-aliasing" options on your art program (what are you using, anyway? Maybe I could find you some better tutorials for it.")...
Keep plugging away!
