I quite like the way this picture is progressing, especially the improvements and details you've added to the fabric and hair. Did you go back and work purple into the picture? I think the color variety renders the diaboli more powerful and striking, as well as a bit mysterious perhaps. I do wonder about the light area around the ear. Will you darken it or shade away from it to separate it from the hair?
Anyhow, can't wait to see more. Keep up the great work!
