Looking good. I always admire a clean mesh like that as mine always look rather odd. Good stuff, I always find something to learn from in your work-thanks.

Witchy : Thanks alot !!! Its great to hear such critique and I am very happy that I can inspire and help you !

Anyway here is another update. The ear is an old ear that I modeled from images of my own ear and attached it to the model.

I also added/extruded the beginning to the neck part.

I did a little clean-up on the mesh. That is removing redundant faces, making lots of faces into quads where triangulated faces was not needed and so on..
