Shenko - Time for a break?

Practicing smiles... I won't tell you how much time I spent on trying to get them right because it's just insane. I just hope that Shepard's smile doesn't look creepy (it looks better in full view, IMO). It's crazy hard and I originally wanted to do full smiles but I don't think it's possible.

I know I said I would wait for my new PC to come in before I started doing full renders again but I got this urge of doing one more Shenko artwork and it needed to be scratched. Also, I apologize in advance if it's too dark but it looks very different for me depending on whether I look at it in Photoshop or directly on my desktop. This is soooo frustrating!

Anyhoo... About halfway through this piece I realized that my pregnant Shenko piece is very similar in how they're standing and holding each other in the same way... oh, well.
