Movida, that's an incredible image. Check the skin tones and see if he should be a tad darker. We've got a friend here who's name translates out to "the color of mud" because that's the color his skin turns during the summer when he's outdoors working all the time. But, then again, the mud here is iron rich and tends to have a dark, reddish-brown tone. Love the work on the cheekbones, brow ridge, and nose. RnRWoman, here's a link that may help you with your research: http://www.cherokee.org/ This is the official site for the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, AKA the Western Band of the Cherokee. You will notice that the skin tones are lighter than those of the Eastern Band due to interbreeding with caucasians and a lack of outdoor time. Here's the link for the Eastern Band: http://www.cherokee-nc.com/ You may have to dig quite a bit for decent photographs of the Elders and fullbloods. Acculturation and assimilation has taken its toll on the facial structure and skin tones, but if you think of the skin tones of the Andean Indians, the central American natives, you will be really close. Good work, everyone...now if these beauties were only available for M2! I haven't found the need to spend the price of a used car to purchase M3...yet.
