Really nice start mate.. I used to try nurbs patches but found them way to fustrating so now im a poly sub-d guy..

The only areas you might want to look a bit more is the nose and lips they just need a bit more definition, other than that its looking good.

Nice onem bro! I agree with Kurt.

In the front view it's fore head & eye brows look great & a major
part of it's character (ie big mean demon) but in the side view
it's lost. I'd pull it forward a little to draw the viewers eye to the skull & bone structure.

Silouhets (sorry about spelling) is the way that humans recognise
objects. get the silohet right and even if the detail isn't that good it will still have a good effect.

whats the poly count?

any updates? can't wait to see it finished
