Contrary to what I said yesterday, I decided to take ONE last crack at Matsumoto. The reasons are many:

1) I noticed in some pictures of Matsumoto I saw later that her hair was a bit more fluffy than I thought.

2) I decided my last attempt was far too much of a realistic take. I wanted to try to simplify the face.

3) A friend commented that her forehead was too big, and I wanted to see how she would look with a smaller forehead.

4) I wanted to work on her eyes more and find a style I liked in that area.

5) Another friend said I should have her grinning.

So yeah, there you have it. The reason I decided to go back to Matsumoto one last time, for now. And I think I like what I've done so far. What do ya think?

Definitely moving on to another character tomorrow, though.
