Nice to see the development. The shiro has a very nice shape and has grown well. When the sumi fills in, the contrast will be strong. I personally prefer more sumi on the head, but I think I see some shadows that could create a dramatic face. Nice the way the sumi has joined on the jaw line, and the angles coming together could cause all eyes to be drawn to her forehead.

The asagi had a messy area of underdeveloped scales just behind the head, but now they have emerged very cleanly. How could anyone ever pick a tosai asagi to grow on? So much depends on scales that do not fully show for years! Dick, do you play the lotterey every week?
