Hey there…
just finished this piece of work. It was a test with projection painting in blender. And some sss shader. I am pretty happy with the result.
Done in Blender 2.5.

very nice… it just looks a little low poly dont u think? like u forgot to turn subsurf back on 
thanks gregzaal,
jep it is a bit lowpoly. Here is a new version. I’ve made some small changes to the hair.
And added subsurfs…

Lovely character. I like the stylization of the mesh with photorealistic texturing. Good job!
I like this, very cool…
it seems a bit blurry… like extreme depth of field… the eyes are in focus but the mouth not.
Was that done in post (gimp/photoshop?) just a sort of vignette mask blur or did you use the defocus node?
I ask because to my taste the mouth should be as sharp as the eyes, and yet her jumper/neckline is too crisp…
anyway, it’s a nice piece… well done!
@ristesekuloski
thanks… I am glad you like it 
@ Michael,
yeah, agree with you. it is to blurry. i am working with a defocus node, but thats not the reason why it so blurry. It is because of the sss settings. somehow I don’t get it sharp in certain areas.
Here is a new version. I’ve erased the eyelashes in the texture and created them with the particlesystem. man… this is quite hard 
But I think this way it looks better! Further I’ve worked a bit on here eyes.
Lovely render! I love your stylization. But I think the mouth looks like it can’t be opened, tightly shut together and no opening. It should be kinda sharp, like the eyes that stand out. Also, add some Pixar like texture to the eyes, or what you see in Big Buck Bunny. I’m sure it will be awesome!
Great work on the hair too, and neat SSS
thanks agentmilo.
what do you mean with some pixarlike texture for the eyes?
Ok, I think I will call this finished.
I’ve added some texture and displacement to the pullover. Tried to create a hairline.
And I think thats it.
Pixar lays heavy emphasis on their characters eyes, that they are themselves able to solely portray the emotion. Previously, instead of mentioning about a whole eye in general, I should’ve mentioned the Cornea, specifically.
This is what I meant. A simple Google search.
But now I think you’ve got it right! The texture in the cornea itself adds a lot of definition and character- and now its simply awesome!
Loving the design here, great style.
Her eyes are very bold and definitely draw you in, and the softness of her face overall is quite nice.
Cool work!
The portrait looks amazing!
You can tell that a lot of work has been put into the texture
3 things would improove the image:
1 - the hair on her head has a large diameter, the hair on her eyebrow is blurred a little bit too much and the hair on her eyelids is just fine
Try to make the hair on the head the same size as the hair on her eyelids, same goes for the eyebrows. It gives it that photo realistic feature.
2 - if you look at her jaw line, on her left side, you see the shadow smacking her and then getting softer as it travels to the chin. Is it low poly in that zone or are the faces positioned like that? (easy fix)
3 - add some small redish veins to her eyes, it can add a nice effect.
I hope that I haven’t been too harsh on you.
P.S. I really like your work, keep it up!
Much much better! Love it!
I love the portrait! It’s texture, the realist effect, really, really good. I realy thought it’s from a pixar movie. Good job! keep it up!
I like this a lot, she is obviously not realistic but still has a feeling of life and personality about her. Nice.
hey thanks alot guys!!! It is really an honor for me to be compared with pixar
Really great character! her eyes and lips are well done…
Can you share a bit of your SSS settings please? it’s really well done.
awesome very very nice. The face texture just seems a bit low-res. and i’m not quite satisfied with the subsurf level. it looks like its just one higher than the original. maybe make it two?
oh and a wire frame would be nice
I love it. Too bad the SSS makes the lips look a little blury. But that’s just a little detail that doesn’t really diminish the overal quality of the work.
Just awesome!
Thanks.
When I have time I will prepare some graphics, where you can see the settings for my sss skinshader.
Kickass work, nothing else to say.
