This is really good. I like the skintones and the cushion.BUT... you should tone the eyes down some. It looks like she is shocked or she sat on a tack. Also, a light dusting of matte finish will get rid of the glossiness and shine.
skintones are nice,eyes to big and spooky but the glossy varnish just kills this mini. try using a matte finish. and watch your eyes they look almost alien.bracelett and chain look good so does the hairbut needs more depth with shading. DD
Gloss varnish is usually very bad...especialy on skin; So in that case :S
Besides that, I think youre heading somewhere.. the eyes are too big, but eyes arent easy ;)
Keep it up!
