@kevin-longueil Hi, Kevin! I really think using the same eyes that you had used in the drawing of the old Wizard is a great idea because eyes have a connotation of being associated with identity, 'windows to the soul' etc. The splitting up of the wings provides a much needed negative space and breaks up the visual block the wings had been before and makes them more recognizable as dragonfly wings. I think the wings frame her very well and have leading lines back to the focal point of the face. They are certainly more winglike and delicate now that you've lightened them up as well.

I agree with Simona that it looks like she is shrugging, and that is because the shoulders are too small and close to the neck. I'd try sizing down the head our enlarging the shoulders. Since you are going for more realistic proportions, remember that shoulder width is approximately two heads long. If you were to remove the hair, it would be more obvious in the attachment of the neck to the shoulder girdle. The location of the wings also contributes to the shrugging look because they appear to insert into her neck or head, rather than attaching to the shoulder blades.

It's looking good. Can't wait to see the finish!
