Essence of Cute?
It's always nice to take a break from what you're working on, go do something else, and come back and see the hundreds of problems with your work. Some people work for an hour and take a 15 minute break, adjusting as they go. This is probably smarter, as it keeps you from wandering too far from the end goal; it's also what I want to start doing. Other people, like myself right now, work for hours and then have to take a lot longer of a break before looking at that piece again AT ALL.
So here's some progress I've made to the cute little character I've been making. I fixed and softened some anatomy, worked up some values, and generally made her less...demonic, and more cute. She still kicks some butt, though.
