Excellent work on the first two!
However, Viconia and the last one look a bit "washed out" in the face. You might try toying with the contrast and brightness for those two (if you were so inclined).

Yeah, she does looked washed out, now that you mention it. I'll fix that eventually... And the one with the yellow skin is someone's edited one... I can't remeber where I got it!

Hah! I like them overall, but I guess Aerie would do better with a little more contrast on her hair and id try to use the smudge tool on her line between face and hair, because now its a little edged.
In viconia id use less contrast, and maybe less brightness
try lowering the contrast and then play with the levels. Same for the last one

The yellow-skinned one used to be Famke Jensen (sp?). Looks JUST like the girl that I've got romancing Immy currently

Yeah, but Arie has an alien look about her to begin with, you know

LOL! Yeah, but Aerie's been called many names for her, err, odd shape of the face. ET, The Triangle Face, Dagger+3 Chin, Airhead... can't recall all those names...

Yeah, the lips are a bit distracting, now that you mention it. I de-emphasized the lips to a more subtle color (dark yellow) and I like it a bit more as it emphasizes her eyes.Very cool. Jaheira looks very much like a dryad (

Yes, I like this even better. I think that the dryads changed their skin and hair depending on a season, so that they could remain unseen in the forest... this would be Jaheira in a dryad's summer garb.Yeah, the lips are a bit distracting, now that you mention it.

Though, with those flaming red lips it wouldn't serve camouflage purposes very well, eh?

Yeah, the more everyone talks baout it, the more I don't like her lips either. When I originally did it, I was half-asleep. Hmm... maybe I'll do a seasonal dryad set of her...
