help needed with skin

Ok its not my first but i've only done about 3 skins that i have felt happy with- this is currently not one of them.

You see i wanted her to have a rippling effect on the cape at the back and it just doesn't look right to me.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hm, i have a idea

Take the dodge tool at say 60 px, and 70% do it once, again at 45 px, again at 30 px (get my pattern?) then shade the rims of the dodges areas, that might look better.

Thanks, i'll get on it as soon as possible :D

btw do you think she has this wierd Santa thing going on with the red and white?

No, i don't But to me the back of her cape looks like it's a towel to me.

Post a screen of the front :D

Next time if u wanna find how to do a certain technique
go 2 yahoo or google and search for "Photoshop Techniques".
make sure its in parentheses. Theres thousands of great sites just look around.

did you try some good old alfa editing?
it makes good holes, rips, or just plan editing out
