I personally like the face halfway between J and H. Also, D. I couldn't really say why though, and D perhaps isn't old enough for what you're looking for. I do think you need to avoid making the face too long, especially around the chin, if you don't want her to look manish. But for making her look old or mature, well, my experience there begins and ends with the 'narrow, as opposed to huge wide and shiny, eyes look' you see in anime. Doubt any of that helps much, but it's all I have, I'm afraid. < ^.^;>

=) well, sweet, thanks a ton for the help dude.

yeah, I erased it to make room for the other pics, but I did write next to D "good, but way too young"

'sides, any help is help. and that's much appreciated. ^^

Definitely seems like she's been on your mind of late. Always interesting to see how a character's evolving.

she's been on my mind because she's in the first issue. D: if she's not designed, I can't do the first issue. =

I like the more prominant elf ears on her.

agreed, they're dandy for emphasizing her snottiness. ^__^
