The eyes look very plasticky to me, and not at all like real eyes. That was the first thing I noticed. Also, the skin doesn't look very natural. It's too smooth, too perfect, and doesn't have much translucence. Granted, this is difficult to do (even the biggest animation studios have a hard time with this one!), but this skin looks like wax. The shadows from the hair (particularly along the front of the neck) are very... uhm... wrong. Too dark, for one thing. And too solid for another (hair generally casts much softer shadows than a solid object would). I don't know enough about D|S to suggest what to change to get closer to your goal (although I could make suggestions if you wanted to fix it in Photoshop ;-). bonni
