I've worked on this for a while and finally managed to pin down the look I wanted. Thanks, sharyamato, for the hair tips! I'm rather proud of the facial shape and the subtle coloring- I'm usually not that great with human faces. And yes, it's strange that Cherie has a human nose, but it's there.

And again, symbolism. The wording, of course, the positioning of everything, the hair, the eye pointed upwards, and the flowers, which are geranium, for the curious. Cherie is © myself, as always. The wpe can be found here: http://monsterinkstudios.com/Tibek/...../flowers10.wpe
