Early Sith Girl version

So kewbe had this to say about my Sith Girl piece:

"I don’t know this pic bothers me its like so much time was taken on the body and the face looks fake. In fact I could swear I have seen the face and body separate before. Anyway it would be neat to see this pic redone with more attention to the face and particularly the eyes."

My reply,

"Kewbe, I guarantee that you have never seen either the body or face before, (except that you have probably seen blonde human women wearing similar clothing at some point.)

This is an original work. Like many good artists I make reference to photos or live models to achieve certain looks or effects.

An earlier version I did indeed put more 'work' into her face, but I felt I overdid it, and ended up making her look somehow 'aged'. It was easy to revert to an earlier saved version of the art and carry on."

Here then is the earlier version I refer to, followed by another one from later on in the process, showing the 'toned-down' facial shadowing:
