Hey there!
I think you got a good base mesh and over all look on this one. One of the main problems is that your seems a bit wider than him. I also think the noserils tops is a bit to bulky compared to him. I’ll def. keep an eye on this thread because I really like the actor and I’m sure you can get a lot of cool expressions out of him

hey looking really good His ear lobes look a bit boxy at the moment also he as a fleshy jaw line in your ref pic but in your model it much crisper. Like the expressions so far and you have the eyes done wonderfully.
Luck
yeah looks much more like him now… I’d suggest going into the small things like the eyes and refining the edges - the face has a lot of hard edges as well as the soft ones - define the edges of the eyelids, thus giving it a visible structure and thickness Same goes for the mouth - it’ll give him a lot of life. Also remember that the upper lid wraps around the lower one in the outer corners of the eye - look at any eye for reference. The same thing happens in the corners of the mouth - the upper one goes over the lower one.
These subtleties do add a lot of reality to a cg character! Keep going for sure 
Looking good. You can see its ol Rowan.
If thats the ref your using for front view keep in mind its not neutral. His neck could be a bit slimmer and his nose too:). His cheek bones also need to go closer towards the eye. At the moment they are near the jaw.
Good luck!
Grr, had a fair bit of computer trouble this week, which set me back a little. Still, I’ve got four mostly done now and I’m getting into the swing of it, so I should still finish on time.
Tired: (had to re-do it, but it looks better now)
Surprised:
Disgusted:
Confused: (not sure about this one yet, tongue looks a bit lame…)
I also had pride re-done, but somehow the file got corrupted and lost all the subdiv data above level 3, and the mesh data no longer matches up with the other ones. Weird and annoying…
I agree… the likeness is off. The second to last one looks the most like him.
Really nice sculpting, and the expressions are really good.
Happy: The refs for this one aren’t quite what I’m aiming for. But I’ve put them up anyway.
Thanks for your comments people.
Some more work:
Scared:
More work on the confused expression:
Flirting: Did something odd to the eyes here in aid of seeing where they were pointing better.
And one of ym favourite Blackadder moments - Wibble.
"…Inside the dugout. Blackadder has pants on his head and a pencil up each nostril. Baldrick is in attendance.
Blackadder: Now, Baldrick, this is an old trick that I picked up in the sudan. We tell HQ that I have gone insane and I will be invalided back to Blighty before you can say “wibble”, a poor gormless idiot.
Baldrick: I’m a poor gormless idiot, sir, and I’ve never been invalided back to blighty.
Blackadder: Yes Baldrick - but you never said ‘wibble’…"
Falls under the silly expression category. No pants on the head yeat, but they’ll be there in the end if I have time.
Haha ****ing awesome idea for “silly” Without wanted to be seen as giving you bad advice, I would recommend sacrificing all your future expressions to get a pair of pants modelled on that head in time for the deadline.
I really like “confused” aswell. I actually read it as concentration though, but it’s a fun expression either way.
I’m all for the idea of putting something in for the iris too, I think that works well. I could swear it helps with the likeness too. Should help with expressions like scared (although that one is very readable at the moment, in my opinion), as it’ll show the whites of the eyes up more.
Nice work. The silly expression is great and pants would be hilarious. i agree that the confused looks more like attentive or concentration. idk about the scared face, maybe move the brows inward a bit?
Rage:
Courageous:
Worried: (Not going exactly with the ref on this one).
Went back to adding the refs I used for those expressions that do have reference images.
hahaha I love that episode with trying to avoid his duty 
- in fact I simply adore all of Blackadder… I think the first series had a lot of very silly expressions too since he was stupid in the Middle Ages Keep’em up!
Pride: (Re-done after the file got corrupted).
Drunk: (another excuse to do a Mr. Bean Expression)
Envy:
Sadness:
And that brings me up to 15! The plan now is to keep refining them as much as possible for the next couple of days, maybe put together and animation and get my renders done!
Whelp, here’s my entry. It’s my first time doing the HMC, and barring the late night last night trying to get all my renders in time for the deadline (I’m going away this weekend) I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lessons learned:
1. Likeness is hard, and maybe not the best added complication to add to an already difficult challenge.
2. My laptop really needed replacing.

I’m also currently rendering an animation of all the expressions. Hopefully I can put it up on vimeo soon!
Attitude of Atkinson is there. Good work.
I think, you need to post final version in new thread " Post Your Final Entry " created by R today.
