Sigfig Decal

by Starwars4J (WIP, Decal & Customizing Chat)
Okay, so I finally got around to making this.  I used the Paint program that Lamanda found (I can't thank her enough, it's so much easier than Photoshop, Coreldraw, or Illustrator...I tried all three for my decal, but my noobishness prevented any sort of outcome).  Anyway, it's fairly simple, I really concentrated on the eyes, as they're my favorite feature :P  My eyebrows are weird, despite having dark brown hair, they're blondish for most of the year, and get brown in deep winter.  I wanted a bit of a smile, maybe more towards a smirk like that, so I hope that's okay.

As for the eyes, I was inspired by my absolute favorite fig, Katara, but clearly I wanted a more masculine face :P  It's my first decal, so I'm sure it needs a lot of work.  When it's totally done, I'll make an order from Kaminoan.

Anyway, this is just a compressed .jpg, but I have the uncompressed versions with layers intact so I can fix anything that might need it.  It looks a little bland, but I don't really have any other defining features.  I never found noses to look good on minifigs.  Maybe a curve near the edge of the smirk?  I don't know

Anyway, here it is!  Thanks for looking and commenting.

Thanks, spikeballs.  It's my first decal (well first completed decal) so I want to make sure I have all the kinks worked out of it before I order.  Someone brought it to my attention that it might be hard to see the eyebrows on the yellow head, does anyone know if it's possible to preview a decal on a virtual digital head, or if I'll be able to see the eyebrows?

Thanks!

pretty good!

my only advice is to take off the black "outline on the lower half of each eye, but leave the eye filled white.  that way, it'll lok a little more like katara.

good luck of future decals!

Thanks, yeroc.  I thought about doing that, but I'd be worried that would make me look too much like I was wearing eyeliner (which I definitely don't!) :P

I ended up making a last-minute change, altering the color of the eyebrows to be a little darker so it would show up.
