hi again :))

i agree that the lips don't looked changed that much.  if you look at the lighting on your most recently posted renders of her, you can see that the light is hitting a large defined area on the right side of her face to the side of her mouth [upper lip to nostrils area], meaning that the mouth is drawn forward a tad unnaturally, hence the 'duckbill'.  also, it is so very hard to tell in the renders if she even has top lashes - i can kind of see them, so i don't know if they're barely visible due to colour, or if possibly the morph has caused the lashes to inbed a little into her overly heavy lids [which could happen if her eyes are to drawn too far back/sunken], and i do think the lid lines themselves could use a bit more definition, meaning create a little more actual lid area for the makeups to be visible upon, if that make sense.  i also think that by giving her a bit more lid area it would help to better balance out the space betwixt lid line and brow.  and i don't think that by making these kind of changes that it will alter her too badly where she'll no longer feel like the Tina you created/intend her to be.

i know, i know, you've so very much to take in right now, but a thought occurred to me about your promos/lighting situation...  there have been some awesome words of advice in this thread, along w. examples of various lighting, and i'm of the extreme belief that in renders, paintings, etc., lighting is so extremely crucial.  there have been a few folks that seem to know quite a bit lighting and setting things up to show things off, so i'm wondering, Wolfie, if you've thought about just giving your pack to one of them [regardless of where you might be right now in her makeover] just to see what they could produce - i'm not talking about anyone doing your promo renders for you, i'm simply curious what she may look like under someone who truly gets the whole lighting business and all its subtle nuances.  it may be that some of the things i see could look vastly different under various light set-ups, and that those differences could lend further insight into your character.  of course, i don't know if anyone might be willing either, so as i said, it's just a thing that passed in my mind...
