Looks really great! People are very different and not like the canon that I have memorized, but here's some thoughts.

EDIT:
The white line on the right-most side is NOT meant to be the curvature of the skull, but the skull closer to the eye/above the eye.

The only real thing that bothers me is the front of the neck area. Other than that just work on what undseth suggested.

great work keep it up=)

Maybe the adams apple should be more clear/protruding there.

Holy Mother of whatever! You made that viggen movie, it is GREAT!!! It almost gave me goosebumps.

good job, just raise the canal in the ear up off the lobe and the ear will look more realistic. Good detail.

J/k. It looks great. I too think the neck needs to be fixed. It maybe me, but I think the gap between the 2 eyebrows seem to protrude to far out.

mahalo,

things to ponder - or answer - or ponder and answer

looks really nice - noticed that the ear flap seems to join with the back of the ear instead of cover a hole but that's a pretty petty detail for such a nice head.

Question - how did you get that nice line around the lips? Did you join two NURBS surfaces? Is it a SubD model? Polygon? I'm looking for ideas to improve my own head models. user added image

Thing I find most important is that the face is appealing - even a villain must be fun to watch - this face is definitely facinating. What kind of a character is he? What does he do? Where does he live?

Thanx everyone!
I reshaped the hole head yesterday...I'll try and post an update later today...I noticed there were some other things that needed to be fixed as I mirrord the head...well you always learn new stuff every day...that's why it's so fun...even though you sometimes feel sick of staring at it so much!! user added image

Model facts: I use a polygon cage and an instance of it which i've converted to Sub-D...

Don't pay any attention to the shape of the model on this image...it's not finished yet... As I said, i'll try and post an update later today!

Ok, so here's an update...I don't know about the skull, maybe it gonna be a bit bigger over the ears??? Tell me what u think!!
I haven't done so much about the muscles around the neck yet... First it was more like a man, and now it's turning into a woman! Hopefully! user added image

That mouth looks really great. I always have such a hard time on the mouth! Argh. I think maybe though, the eyes are alittle large...

Undseth: What a great avatar. rofl.
