Coming along nicely. Not sure but it seems you have a slight texture stretching going on the eye area. Might want to check the UVs on that area...

The texture was very basic and a bit of a rush. I simply UV mapped it, took a snapshot, then opened it in photoshop.

Once in photoshop I coloured the main areas solid colours. ie, the skin and the hair. Once these were positioned well I added a little depth by going over areas with a soft brush at very low opacity in either black or white.

The eyes are terrible. But that's a lesson learned. Hopefully next time they will come out better. Or maybe I will actually add eyes to the model.
