I like it. Her face has attitude.

The strangest thing is, she honestly wasn't meant to have that expression. In the photo she's this innocent looking flapper girl... holding two pistols.

But it helps make it different from the source image and I'm afraid to tamper with it too much, so I think I'll keep it the way it is (with the exception of the pupils, and maybe a little bit more work on the nose)

Here's hoping I don't screw it up with too much tinkering...

:) Good luck!
