Great cartoon face.  Love the chin!

Having nothing better to do today, I diddled around with your cartoon without 
permission...

Mainly, I tried to make the ponytail look more "wavy", and I played around 
with the hat also.  Depending upon the font you're using, the hair could look 
like wavy hair, or it may look like you've got beads strung in there.

Ah, well.

That is really an excellent picture!  Pretty good :).  Here is my diddle 
attempt.  I don't know what to do about the pony tail, tho, cuz it kinda 
looks like a squirrel tail or something, so I took it out to take a look.

Following Joey (aka Brainchild) Millison's lead, I tried my own hand at making
a cartoon self-portrait.  Tell me what you think (of course most won't be able
to compare it with my actual appearance, but concentrate on the stylistics ;)

               |-(  o)-(o  )`|,'    Other than that, I don't have a pony tail
              (|  ~~~   ~~~   |)    nor do I wear a hat.  Maybe we can put
