I realized that I never did that many organic type heads, so I went and started the closest thing, which is turning out to resemble an alien insect of some sort. I'm not completely sure how I will design the back, but I feel like there should be a big contract from the front, like wings or something translucent and oily rainbow looking.

Fortunately, it still seems like I remember all the steps on making a spinny
Anyway, did a bit of work today because all my friends are either tired, grounded, or out of town. Progress will depend highly on that :P

I also tried designing a car inspired head, but that didn't work out too hot. I feel like it would require some really fine details to shine, and that would take way too long.

Here is what I have so far

is looking very purple right now.

Oh man... jak.. i love your heads, i love how you do your heads, and i'd love to make mine with that great quality :<
5* so far

It's nice to see you trying to get away from robotic.
It looks pretty nice so far, but you should take some ingame screenies for a better view.

Thanks!

Yeah I plan on making the back a smaller contrast from the front. A black back or maybe wing areas are appealing for me right now.

Make it asymmetrical.
I think, for a secondary colour, you should add warning spots somewhat like those found in rainforests. They have developed that way to show they are poisoness. I think it would add more colour, as long as you could get the AA right on the colour changes. For purple, thinking either yellow or green.

Oh those are some good ideas! I dunno if I could work spots anywhere, but green lining or striping would probably work pretty easily.

For asymmetry, maybe broken/cracked pieces with acidic looking blood dripping out? That would probably be easy enough to add to existing parts too.

I haven't had a chance to work on it for the last couple of days, so nothing new yet (gonna be relatively busy till wednesday).

Thanks for the suggestions, they really help!

More asymmetrical than that. Differently shapeantenna coming from the forehead, oddly sized wings (one with battle scars maybe) on the back, green spots randomly placed coming from the neckline (since I assume that area won't have much detail) or even an eye on each side looking in different directions. Just some more ideas for you.
