First, I'd just like to join everybody else who's saying, "Midterms! Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Scary.
Mostly this week, I've been doing what I said I would and working on my characters. I've done a decent-ish job on Baba Yaga, but here's my question:
Initially, I wanted her to look like a fairly normal old woman at first. But I've just been writing this paper about Baba Yaga's supernatural aspects and antecedents, so now I kind of want to give her a more other-worldly look.
So I'm posting two images here -- my finished sketch and an earlier version where I hadn't put Baba Yaga's eyes in yet. I kind of think she looks more like an ogre in that one. So what do you guys think? Eyes and normal, then she opens her mouth and has shark teeth? Or no eyes and creepy right from the start?
I'll have a full body image of Baba Yaga soon. Sooner than I would like, given my unresolved face issues, but hey, at this point, I figure all drawings are helpful somehow.

many details in your sketch, it looks great.
my opinion about it, mmm, i feel the chin is bit small, compared to the nose and forehead. the nose got my full attention...maybe that's why she looks like an ogre...anyway, you have a good start in your character design.

Your character design is great. I personally like the white eyes without the irises -- it makes her more demonic. Maybe you can arch her eyebrows in the classic villain way, with the inner brows slanted downward.

Claire these are fantastic. I think you should keep going with the sad but kind of creepy feel to her. Maybe make the eyes as big as possible; it's an easy way to bring your character to life.
