[WIP] [C+C] Character face

[Pusty]

The mechanic looks good but the left eye is a bit unclear
the neck looks a bit out of place a well (not too sure about that one)

Had a few minutes, quick ideas for the 1st pilot



Basically took this one apart, redid the shadows/highlights, used less lines and more clusters.

EDIT: 2nd:



Same thing, more animu.

BTW when you come across a detail hurdle where you could end up with a lot of single pixel noise (like the eyes) cut it down to 2 or 3 colors and see how far you can go before adding more.
Try indexing similar thumbnail-sized images down to a few colors and referencing that. Usually more detail is omitted than you expect.

HTH.

made some improvements on the mechanic, tried to smooth out and rework some of the highlighting and i have played around with the eyes a little more.
also did some minor tweaks on the pilot,since pistachios version gave me some ideas,  but haven't spent much time on her

I like the changes on the pilot and mechanic but the yellow one doesn't look finished to me.
But you posted it so I should write something lol
The face looks good in my opinion but the hair doesn't look finished at all
also I think the shading on the right side of the face looks off

The anatomy of the green one is really bad in the jaw, particularly when contrasted with the other two.  It looks like you are trying to portray a male, yet you have its (his?) jaw narrower than the jaws of the women.  Men have wider jaws than women.  Men also have beards or some indication that they cut their beards off (stubble or at least a shadow).
