Steven,
Good suggestions by all.
Of all the carving techniques using a V bit is a wonderful challenge. It's extremely delicate. I love getting the delicate wire lines it gives.
To do serious work you will need a VCarve program. One that articulates the bit. Without that it's going to have a clunky image.
Looking at your attempts I'm thinking your problem may be the bit. Onsrud is one of my favorites.
Try lowering the bit into the material and toggle it around at different speeds.
Best of Luck
Joe
