Lovely work!  Just stunning!

I think you're taking the best approach as well - working from what YOU find pleasing and useful will result in a figure that is useful.  Don't model and rig via committee.  It never ends well - use your skills and you'll have a fantastic figure.

I'd like to volunteer to make freebie clothing for her release, so when you get to that place, will you tell us how to sign up to help you?
