Description
Since I'm going to redo (probably) the Prologue and (definitely) Chapter 1 to do a little tightening up of the story and fix a few errors, I decided to make a few improvements to Shelby. I'm going to wait until I'm done with the whole story before I redo Chapter 1 just in case I come up with something between now and then.
I was doing some test renders of Shelby utilizing my new skin shaders (which I now use for all the characters) and noticed some of her facial features didn't look quite right to me. A bit of lip reduction, a slight rhinoplasty, and some eye shaping later... I got this little portrait and it looked good enough to me to share with all of you.
I've got enough commercial content products lined up that I can finally start work on Chapter 2 with the new Shelby. Not sure how long it will take, I've got the script done but it's quite a long chapter... at least 14 or so pages!

Wonderful job
Very interesting redo of your character. Nicely done.
Beautiful work on Shelby's new look. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the next chapter! Excellent work!
Shelby's a real girl - good idea, work on one thing while tightening up another!
Very nice! The skin looks very realistic!
Very good closeup portrait!
There are a lot of subtleties in that expression: curiosity, intelligence, brashness - and maybe just a touch of insecurity. Nicely done!
