Thanks, Banj. I actually tried to post back a few times saying I hadn't read the posting info yet, just being excited about the new site. But when I used the quote link from your post, it kept saying my post was considered spam and wouldn't allow it? Might have been something I did? Will definitely read up on everything.

Yeah, sorry Dave I noticed some spam logs that said as much. It's not you it's the resident anti-spam bot we like to call HAL. It gets a little over zealous with post deletion, but he's getting better.
edit - and sorry Dom, we should probably get back to your pics

D'oh... once again I have neglected my own WIP thread in favour of commenting on others' work.
Here's a piece I have had in storage for a while that I thought I would get back to. I really like the concept, but need some crit' so that I don't start ruining it as I go.
So, over to you fine and freckled people!
PS. Is there a way to change the title of this thread, as I think it is dating it a bit!...?

You can edit the subject line when you edit a post. Not sure if you need to edit all posts or just the first, though... Or maybe, first and last... 
I'll try to remember feedback tomorrow when I've had some sleep!

Yep, I remember you starting this one and glad you pulled it back out too. But for some reason, I'm thinking it looks different from the latest image you posted on IFX? Or maybe it's just been that long since I've seen it? Hope to see it finished though. - Sorry, but not much to crit on really, except maybe the hands might be just a tad too high, as far as the wrist placement according to the forearms angle. (hope that makes sense)
Edit: haven't tried it here yet, Dom. But on the old site you could change the title in any post, but when viewed on the main page, the original title would still showed, until you changed the title in the first post itself. Again, haven't tried it here, so you might want to give it a try and see.

Now then. I think this is a very sweet image but there are some things I feel could be improved upon and I've tried to highlight them in my "line over".
1) You tend to put quite a mop of hair on your girls... Remember that the eyes are approximately in the middle of the tip of the chin and the top of the head. Then of course there may be plenty of thick hair on top of the scalp, but usually the hair isn't all that fluffy on top since gravity pulls it down. So I suggest a bit of a downsize.
2) Her neck is very wide at the top and then slims down, I suggest making it more delicate at the top as well.
3) With your current shading - which I understand isn't final - you've really emphasized the roundness of her shoulders. You've also emphasized it with the shape of her arms. I think maybe you'll want to make the arms a little straighter (unless you want a symbolic "heart shape" to be created by the shoulders for extra sweetness!) and I also think you should add a hint of armpits (well, the edge between arms and torso).
and 4) which I honestly wouldn't have noticed if Dave didn't point it out, but yes the wrists of her hands and her arms don't seem to be in the same place... I'm not sure how to explain it well, but if you draw the lower arms as their own oval shapes (or stumps) without hands, and then add the hands, the edge of the palm of the hand would be in about the same place as the edge of the stump (assuming you didn't make the stump too short
), so basically her hands should be placed a bit lower. Their inner structure looks fine to me, though
