The texture looks good. I like the imperfections/slight blemishes of the skin. Marketplace or freebie? One qualm... What is your lighting set-up? Your renders seem to have a slight dull-grey cast. Perhaps it is just my eyes that have developed a slight grey-cast... Been staring at Photoshop for too many hours now.

Could be jpegification. I find that to get images down to R'osity's likes I end up with a greycast image, or colours dulled. Wow, that's so nice! I'm especially enamoured of the eyes.

The lights are greyish - but the skin color is light too, because it leaves more room to play with skin color. The high resolution version with bump is going to be in the marketplace (I'm unemployed)but I'll release a lower resolution version as a freebie. Do you think 10$ is okay? I'm planning to do a couple of custom (bump)maps for different facial expressions too. The eyes are a mix of highlight, reflection and transparency - I'm still not satisfied with them, but this seems to be the best I can do.

Wow, looks very nice! The only thing that looks a little 'off' to me is in the top pic. She looks like she just recently stopped a nose bleed.

eyebrow hairs are too short. otherwise ok. wouldn't sell it, though...

There are two areas that I'd re-address, and bear in mind, just my humble opinion, okay? Pump up the contrast on the eyes so you have some solid blacks in the pupils. She looks like she's wearing those mirrored contact lenses one sees in 1980s horror films. The line for the eyebrows is too defined. Loosen it up a bit with a few errant hairs, particularly along the extreme left and right. Those two quibbles aside, it's a nice piece of work. Congratulations.

nice work. I would just tone down the pink nostril thing.
