Griatch - very nice work and like the subject matter.
It's interesting to make studies of faces and expressions that are somewhat unusual.

I really like this, it's so cute!
Only thing I'd say is under her eyes seem a bit to baggy for a young girl, and the hairs that are growing from her neck (or looks like it) although hair does grow there, it doesn't really stick out like a kitten like that looks, it goes out and down or just down.
This looks kinda like wiskers on her neck.
What's she using on her lips btw? Lipstick that I know of is always in a tube that you turn.
All in all it's really nice, she's adorable!

I did tweak the lower eye lids a bit, and also removed some of the extra hairs. Hopefully better now! Thanks for the feedback.

This is a non-modern image and character, so I pictured her using some sort of clump of coloured salve or mixture to apply to her lips.
As for the texture, no it's not a sparkle brush, it's a splatter brush from deevad's Krita brush set. A similar effect can be achieved in GIMP also using the "jitter" property and a hard, round brush.

That's quite an expression! Looks great to me. I'm curious what the rest of the picture was. The shadow over her face looks like that cast by window-bars.
The full image involves her holding up her rather unruly hair with her right hand as well as more of her shoulders and upper torso. It was okay but I felt I needed to focus the image more to the main interest of her lips.

Awesome results Griatch.

And the title fits perfectly. Is that a new character?
Thanks! And no, although this i a rather unusual view of her.
