some more progress on this. A couple of big problems need to be resolved like the forehead situation and some general proportion problems but other than that it's just rendering now.
I also posted the avatar image to my instagram and tumblr (made some small changes to the hands and went with the smiling version) it's already at 600+ likes/reblogs on tumblr which makes me sad more than anything. I knew it would blow up all my previous avatar images are over 1k with the first one sitting at 20k, appealing to a fanbase works so well it makes me wonder why I even bother with personal work that literally 5 people see, 2 of them my friends. Making art shouldn't really be a numbers game but after 3 years of no success knowing that I can just half ass some fan art image to get tons of clicks is demotivating. I wanna draw little girls and get clicks not little boys :D
