Oh that outline looks great dude really to see another wip only thing I don't like is how the lips look

Cheers man ^^ Conventional face a bit boring, so...

WIP#1:

Really good, shading. Proportions are a bit off, try working on the eyes a bit. Teeth are okay but try to steer away from mirroring them. The overall face seems too squished together. Try working with a 1024x512 canvas. Add eyebrows even though they will be covered up a bit. Do the lower lip like how you did the upper lip.

I liked the sketch better than the wip
gives it a knight look and it looks good. or you could try to give it a mean skeletons kind of face, idk :P like,

Thinking I'll re-do the face, or at least some of it (proportions/mapping), once I have done other things. Haven't added things like eye-brows yet. Yeah the bottom lip looks like shit. I'm working on a 2048x2048 canvas, rip

Still not sure what I want the face to look like ^^

Adding base layers now. It is actually unbelievable how long this is taking since I have no idea what I'm doing before I figure out how to do it.

WIP#2:

I don't particularly like the highlights, especially the skin

Smooth them out

Try to work with 1 layer
It's more realistic and smoother
This might help
I see too many layer

ok heres some problems:

- face too crunched at the face mask part, looks odd on a circle

- cut off for the wood transitioning into the face is awfully abrupt and not realistic

- as bad80 said too many layers

- wood looks cool but not really natural, kinda plastic and controlled

- shadows way too mirrored, light doesn't strike equally on both sides

Suggestions:

add scratches/deformities?
