Hey everyone, thanks for the comments and crits! I have applied some of those crits and some are in queue. As for the animated, maybe in the future as Im not that good with animation. I will attempt to do some simple rigging just so i can pose him.

Chris_H: Yes i've noticed that about the eyes as well, i was planning on changing it later on when everything else is done as part of touch up. I like your use of "evocativeness" hehehe, ever since I read that article on cgtalk, it has turned On my creativity, i have alot of scene plans on paper that I will do as I get time..Right now Im doing the 2 month LOTR challenge here as well but Ill be working on this.

Ill post an update for the day later on tonight as well as for the LOTR.
