That's nice. If you look at the revision of mine, now with three 
versions, you'll see that the new version is closer to what you have 
done <http://moosemystic.net/Gallery/Others/Pemberton/Charly/charly.htm>.

I also smoothed out some of the subtle blotchiness in her right 
forehead, but didn't go quite as far in eliminating skin surface texture 
as you did. I still like my first version too, as well as yours and my 
second. It's more different visions than one better than another, sort 
of grit/real vs. glam. My first one could still use a little work on the 
forehead, though.

Just crib the code, it's pretty simple. Or I can send you a copy.

I fixed that in the newer version.

Yup, the sweater/wall edge on the right of my new one is a bit funny, 
but not worth fixing on a demo of working with other things.
