Laila’s fabulous chest (keep in mind, she just gave birth) caused me some issues, or rather the joint connecting neck and chest. Anyhow, somehow I got her this far now, finished the firing and testing a good, nice hairstyle for her.

Of course not all of that is going to be her hair, although it has a fantastic dramatic effect, but I am just checking colour and length of the hair at this point (nope, it’s not gonna be the Lady Godiva-look, actually I am more shooting for a young Patti Smith):

Brown is great for her hair, but how would it do in black-white?

Laila has cool hands (talking about hands: Madeleine has nice hands, too; check in the “Haifischflossen” category: https://www.josianekeller.com/category/haifischflossen/madeleine-%E7%8B%82%E4%B9%B1-kyoran/ ).
I find feet easier to do, but hands are very important. On a photo any face for some reason looks plausible if you get the right angle, but hands easily blow the effect if they don’t look right.
