This one would be cool to animate as he translocates around in that swirling puff of smoke

That might be a cool show reel gimmick. have him translocate between clay, wireframe, and final renders.

Im starting to feel its looking too rubbery in the face compared to the muscle chisled looked of the body. Maybe get rid of the roundness of the nose and make more angular

Looks really cool Kurt and I have no place to criticize as I am no sculptor but the ears look a little unnatural to me as though they are stuck on. But I am no anatomy expert. Even so the work is exquisite.
