...yanno, I still got that ponytailed gal that I certainly wouldn't mind a portrait like that of at all.  PM sent.

They're replacements. It's what happens when you survive an offensive grenade detonation rather close to your face:

Dang this is close to what I pictured for Jade as I played her the third time!

She was blasted out of her Mech and survived, but lost her left eye, left arm at the elbow, left leg just above the knee. She was fitted with Myomer replacements because she saved the life 3 Leaders of the Inner Sphere, and Phalean Ward.  She fought a rouge Crusader Clan Warrior from Smoke Jaguar, intent on disrupting talks to allow the Wolves in Exile to have a planet in the Lyran Alliance. Her last act in the fight was to run her mechh into the Timber Wolf, she was in a refit Wolfhound!
She was called the Iron B**** Wolf by those she crossed and survived, to fight her again! She died in a mech under fire by a full Heavy Lance! Two head shots to the mech, AC/20 and a Medium Pulse Laser. Fusion engine went critical and nothing was found of her!
Semper paratus !

Youch man.  Those scars are brutal, but you can still see the looker underneath them.  It manages to not deform her.  Nice work.

What are you using to manipulate these?  Very nice portrait, by the way.

Yay!

Also damn I dig the VTOL.  I can only suggest putting the engines a bit more forward, or two supplementary ducts for thrust.  It looks like it'd be a bit nose-heavy in the design, with the engines behind the CoM.  Maybe there's a lift-fan gizmo in the center that I can't see at this angle, that's cool, but just my only technical suggestion.  I like the shape a lot :D

For the eyes under the light reflection you could use a black-blue thin cressent! it would give them a more natural look!
