I'd consider a different hairstyle, preferably center-parted since you are dividing your character along the centerline. Also make the hair white, so that it would show up better against the dark background. (I made this mistake once... in oil paint... much harder to fix.) Maya has a flip hairstyle with a band which you might think about, too, since you could put stuff (glitter stars, whatever) on it, which would help call attention to her face. As to the pose, she looks like she is going to fall forward onto us. The near foot can't hold her weight at that angle. Switch cameras to the Top view and see where her center of balance is. You may need to tweak her hip rotation a bit and/or flatten/splay the toes of her left foot to grip the floor. As to whether it counts? I suspect that Dr Geep's purpose is nudging us to be more creative with the tools at hand. Carolly
