DONE ENOUGH no seriously, I fully expect to revisit this again another time, but now it's "presentable". This is probably my first drawing in a long time I've really been proud of, for one thing, it was my first time attempting a digital painting like this, and the first time in a long time I've drawn a bust.
Like I said though, I might revisit this later, and all in all I did enjoy working on it, even though I'm sure some of you in IRC heard me bitching pretty constantly about it. Later on I might go back and add in more values, especially around the hair loop to even it out some, but for now I'm still very happy with it.
As before, below the image is a link to the full-size, clocking in at 2,332px × 2,300px.

In addition, I've also compiled a collage from multiple steps and screenshots of the painting while it was in progress, mostly as a motivator for myself. I figured some of you might be interested in it, so here you go.
