It's going into my archive, that's always a good sign. :)

Bear in mind that the following is intended as constructive
criticism only. This is very good stuff.

It's K't'inga (just missing an 'i'). It also can't he head-on as
the neck is horizontal. While boring, the traditional "neckless"
view is accurate... for head on. Lengthen the body a bit more to
make it at an angle like the head, and it'll be perfect.

Looks good. Suggestion: you can make the lines a bit less jagged
by using something like these:

|  '  /,   /    /    ,'        ,-'       _,-'              __,--'
|  |  /   /   /'   ,'       ,-'      _,-'            __,--'
|  | /,  /   /   ,'      ,-'     _,-'          __,--'
| '  /  /  /'  ,'     ,-'    _,-'        __,--'
| | /, /  /  ,'    ,-'   _,-'      __,--'
| | / / /' ,'   ,-'  _,-'    __,--'
|' /,/ / ,'  ,-' _,-'  __,--'
|| ///',' ,-'_,-'__,--'
||///,',-',-',--'

For even more slanted lines, just use more horizontal segments.
On my display, tildes ('~') are not very good "top-lines', and
are more like squiggly dashes, so I tend to avoid them if possible.

This is one where the slanted lines would really come in handy..

Great start! Looking forward to more...
