I believe my second submission is better, but let me know if there's any change required

Good work with the second cut :clapping_hands: For future reference, whenever possible, try and crop a bit closer to the chin. 2-3 pixels is enough. This way, the area dedicated to the face takes up the most amount of space possible 🙂

The only other thing I'd mention is that in the second source image, it maybe could be rotated slightly clockwise, just so that the face is upright/straighter rather than at a slight angle. https://sortitoutsi.net/comments/get/614040

It's a little more challenging that I thought it would be, you'd never notice but people have diverse face shapes and you need to account for that in order to keep the in-game immersion, nevertheless I'm enjoying getting the hang of it, more to come 😂

The cut is otherwise perfectly fine, so you've definitely got the basics right. It's just a question of attention to the little details as outlined by both me and @weeniehutjr. There's nobody more than me who is aware of the whole gamut of expressions and head shapes and forms, trust me, but through these little tweaks, the final cut-out output definitely becomes a bit more standardised. Once you get into the groove of it, you can do a cut in a couple of minutes and sometimes even less, and it won't take you ages to get there, believe me 😉

If you have any queries on how to tackle a specific source or the best way to do some particular technique, I would suggest you post in the tutorial to cutters thread. If you just post in the comments without tagging or quoting a staff member, the forum moves quickly enough that it might get inadvertently missed, which would be a pity 🙂

Looking forward to your future work 👍
