I recently met with someone who helped me remember how important it is to return to our past experiences, scrutinize them in detail with our present eyes and make sure we have acquired all the knowledge we possibly could out of them at this point in time.
As a tribute to this commitment and a token of gratitude for this teaching, here is a carefully revisited version of a portrait I made a few weeks ago, hopefully rid of its major flaws.

On another note (the one of shameless self promotion,) in response to some of your nice requests, I now offer small to large prints of some of my own work. For those who are interested, feel free to visit my website: http://www.3dpeyote.net/. There are only two for the moment but more are on their way, all your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to you all.

Would you mind expanding on that? Is it the shading or the geometry that bothers you?

Hm, things that spring to mind, if one tries to criticize this cool thing:

- The hairs on the lower lip seem to thick
- the skins has just somehwat too much gloss

But well ... :)
