Good work so far man, any chance of a low poly wireframe?

For the SSS skin theres a free video (well its really 3 videos) tutorial on it from gonomon.

Try broadening the base of the jaw and the cheek bones a little.

Other than that, it looks more than similar to the one on the site that vladimerjp quoted... Is that your model? They're exactly the same.
