Seraphira, if, when you get to that point, you would like some assitance in mapping, please feel free to give me a buzz. I'm following this work closely. I've been using the same methods for constructing a figure strictly for personal use, but I'm not quite as quick at it as you ;). Nor as good. It's coming along wonderfully. I would like to see a mesh shot of the eyes area like the one you have above. Mesh density is a serious consideration for me, personally, and I am having some issues with it myself. Keep it going, and don't let anything make you give up.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
