A little side note: I'm not trying to knock the use of references here because I certainly realize the importance of using references when appropriate. I must however emphasize the fact that I'm attempting to do this from my imagination. Just like if I were drawing. It's an exercise to improve my modelling skills from scratch and an exercise in creativity.
Unless this model gets to the point where I can't improve it any further without some kind of reference image I don't plan to use reference. I want to do as much as I can from my own memory of shape and form.
Anywho, again thank you all for your comments. I do agree with you Some Guy, in that the eyes do seem large. I attempted to fix that and here is the result. I also made some other modifications. Let me know what you all think about this version.
...and that is how I saved the world.
