[This is a guy I was working on, not sure what to call it yet, I wasnt really focusing on the armor so I know that sucks, I was experimenting with human faces, thats mainly what I was playing around with, I think the face came out pretty good, you know the drill crits/comments please ;) .
I did something quite similar actually, cept mine had white hair, and completely different armor, but the concept is the same, the blonde beard came out quite nice... however from the looks of it it seems to be lacking a hint of orange mid-tones... that is comparing it to the base head on the top of his head... I'll be blunt with you.... the eyes look goofy as hell, he looks cross-eyed.....I'd go back to the original and redraw to keep it centered and nice... as for the rest of the body....
The eyes... there too big, kinda what he'd look like if he was stoned :o I like the beard, but it dosn't fit his hair quite right, which means you should change the tone just a little.
Ok I was on Vacation sorry if this is bringing a thread back but, I fixed the face by relocating the eyes and removing the beard, tell me what you think.
