What does every new 3D graphics adept do as a rite of passage? Well, he makes a model of an attractive girl and posts the headshots on the forums as the 432637298th female character, of course! (Alternatively, there can be dragons...)
I just realized that I've never done it that way though - so here's a quick & simple fix. Just the kind of project I can successfully run these days as said in the journal, no time for big things.
Additional motivation is that Wanda got a new style! I received some remarks in the past that her face lacks definition; I grew to agree with them, and here are the results. Including proper whiskers, and cheek fluffs (not very well visible still because of the hair). Further adjustments are very much possible, but that's the shape of things for now.
Comments are welcome!

You're doing much better at expressions. Wanda's eyes are still a little weird (like, Uncanny Valley weird), but that's SOP for digital 3D rendered faces.
Her mouth is definitely more realistic. She might benefit from a hint of lips. Not Human style but borrowed from a photo Hyena reference.

Many thanks for your input. About the eyes, isn't this mainly because in the middle shot, the pupils are too large? They can be dilated, but I think I simply forgot to use it in this middle shot, which actually came first. The things that happen when making art at 2 a.m...
In any case, the eyes were changed recently, hope I didn't make them worse than before. The reason: Wanda is my first female model, and second full character model I've made. As such, she needs some updates now and then, when either my skills or available 3D technology advance. I noticed that the way her eyes were made so far, they were quite small (and probably too masculine-looking), so I decided to enlarge and reshape them - only slightly, nothing revolutionary.
I recognise how a hint of lips would be beneficial. It's quite difficult though, to get this work in 3D in a geometrically consistent way, so I haven't figured it out yet. Some experiments are underway.
And there are more fixes I'm going to try. The teeth material is seriously old, the nose may likewise need a bit of improvement, I'm not 100% content with the whiskers distribution, the cheekfluff can use even more trimming, for which a ponytail hairstyle might be more amenable, but that has yet to be made too...
