Thanks guys, that’s some very positive feedback.
-redfuzz: thanks a lot man. I like the gesture in that one but i’ll probably go with one of the others since that one is too “human-ish”
-OZ: thanks for the super kind words!!! Both your email AND your concept work helped me decide to join. You’ll probably win it, but i’ll join in just for the fun. 
-OrestesMantra: I know about the breasts. They look too sexy-rounded, etc. I want to make them more aged and stretched to show that time has passes. This is no happy young nanny, but an old tired and miserable one. THanks for the crit.
-dmonk: I totally agree with you. Right now that’s the one i’m going for the most (but i’m still undecided). The size relationship on that image is the one i prefer also. But i’ll play with the concept some more.
-InnerVOrtex: thanks for the motivation buddy.
