one things I'd suggest is the straight lines that you can see in the bump. Make them less straight.

Maybe make it just a bit darker, I kinda like that fleashy tone, it suggests that it doesn't get out very much.

yeah, I messed up the rig and can't do what I want without heaps of tweaking so the head has to be stationary.... everything else is fine. I might have a go fixing it later if I have time.

oh..... I had nothing to do with these.... they're photo's... honest user added image
