I think the eyes need a reflection just because eyes reflect so well, it is what they do. The tongue still needs a texture though. The eyes are looking much better but there is still something about the iris' themselves that looks wrong.

i tried a phong material for the eyes and i made a quick render with a directional light.i think i should work more on the texture inside of the mouth.

looking great but im still not happy with they eye colour area. if u look at most eyes of the gorilla as in most peoples eyes there is a white reflection cube in them perhaps try getting a small area light to get this reflection. Take a look on the cgtalk site all eyes have this kinda thing. i personally think if u get the eyes right mate ull b onto something good. there the most important thing and shouldnt be overlooked.
Also the pupil could be larger than the iris.

I agree with magicsy. The iris is still too rough. Do just the color and a little bit of black in the color. You have way too much...

im liking the bottom teeth m8, there looking really nice, maby dirty up the top ones a little, or if u already have its kinda hard to see cos id say the light shining from the right is very very slightly too bright, the teeth just glow a bit too much.
Nice progress though dude.

thanx for the comments.
with the directionnal light, it should create that little round in the eye but it doesnt, i dont know why maybe the light is too high.for the color i will try to change it.

now, the teeth are not textured yet but will be as soon as i can.and jhubbard, you said that they seems to glow and i think thats because the diffuse is way too high.

i hope with the fur it will looks better user added image

nice going, I like the teeth. The eye texture looks squashed though.

Suggest bumping the textuer in the mouth interior as well. Looks a little too smooth imo.

just a quick render with maya software to see what it could looks like with fur.there is some problem with fur baldness but it will be corrected in the final render.
