and you'll notice I didn't manage to get the face into ink at all; I think because part of me was thinking I should bring in heavier shading, and also maybe partly because I didn't really clarify the eyebrows vs the seam at the top of the eyelid--that's where the trouble really started when it came to putting it down in ink, anyway. Although maybe it also wasn't really the right expression for this situation, either. Anyway it was a nice face, at least I got a photo I guess. :P
 
While brooding for a while over that I also remembered that I had once again forgotten to plan out any real dramatic of abstraction of the black and white forms, urrr--but I could at least still go in and clear out some of the extraneous detail, so from this (which was posted on the site briefly)

I removed the horizon line, the bolts in the sky--adding some more laser turret fizz (if you'll excuse the technical term) to take their place--and some of the lower part of Selenis' outline. That did bring the design together a little more, at least.
