Thanks so much guys! So helpful.
I followed all your suggestions (though I kept some forehead lines, I don't know how else to signify that his brows are somewhat raised. I'd drop the eyebrows down, but that would require reworking the eyes too. Does he look 26?)
Thanks for the call out on the eye/iris ratio. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I'm working on that further tonight.
Oh... and I hate to pop your happy bubble, but this is CG. I'd do it traditional, but I'd have destroyed it entirely several times over and probably used up all my paint. ^^
Once I get it right, I'll definitely paint it for real.
Here's the new edit.
In short, I reworked the lines that were relined (works super well I think <3). Widened the irises. Messed with the jawline, which I still feel is wonky.
Blurred some lines, sharpened the ear, re-shaded part of the neck and gave him a haircut. ^^
More help would be adored.
Thank you three so much. <3
