Well, thanks for trying, Xerxes.  My render is not a draft type render, and the texture is one I've custom made for it, trying for a more wolfish look.  The crack in the nose is new... I adjusted her for a more wolfish face, and now a crack shows up in the nose.  Sigh.

I'm really, really stumped on the crack thing.   Does anyone have an idea?  None of my other figures has cracked like this, and I've been rendering for about a year.  There are still fine tuning things I'm still learning.  This is probably one of them.
