Oops. Too jumpy today. Forgot to attach the image LOL

[JoBbE]

looking great, the only thing I think looks a bit odd is the nose, I think the distance between the nostrils is too big

[Alice]

its great work, just something wrong, cant quite put my finger on it.
Maybe the distans between the ear and all the facial features?

[AmbientLight]

JoBbe,

I think you are right. The shape is wrong. Not completely wrong but it's enough to make it look odd :)

Alice,

You're also right :) I just compared it to several photo references. It's too far. The angle is also wrong.

Hey, thanks a lot, guys. I wouldn't notice wrong features without your help :)

[Icestar]

the internal part of the ear's edge needs to be more rounded. it's way too sharp. but otherwise i think it's pretty cool.

[AmbientLight]

Icestar,

You mean this edge?

[Icestar]

yeah that's it

Here's an update. I fixed all things mentioned before and reshaped the lower jaw. I also included wireframe shot, in case anybody wants to comment on it.

Thanks.

I really like this head, it's like... considerably better than some I've seen lately, which is nice. I've been doing one lately, though it's not meant to be really human.... but yeah, the space with the nose was a problem for me and the ear, and maybe the upper lip is too far out at the bottom of the nose, but I may be wrong. You've done an awesome job :) I cant wait to see more.

Some comments:

The neck seems to start back too far from the chin. Also the skin under the chin may be too horizontal... it tends to slant back into the throat a bit more. Also the cheek is bulged out at the same level as the nostrils, instead of rising from the skin that comes off the bridge of the nose and flows into the cheek bone. The face seems a bit flat to me overall....

Overall it is looking good though.

Good Luck,

Thank you, Aerestis. I disagree about the upper lip. I think I like it the way it is for now :D I tried to change it and looked too flat.

I will post updates. It's not actually just head. I also have a full body, but it still requires a lot of wor. I decided to switch to something else so I don't get bored with the whole thing :)

[AmbientLight]

MDuffy,

You're absolutely right! I'll fix everything. Thanks a lot.

[AmbientLight]

Oook.. Here's another update.

Here's what I fixed:

1. Shape of the skull. It was just wrong.
2. Moved the neck forward where it's supposed to be.
3. Skin underneath the chin slants back into the throat.
4. More definition to the shape of the ears.
5. Some twicks around the nostrils and cheek.

Thanks again for helping me!
