Gave another shot, I have nothing to add in terms of criticism.

Alright yeah apparently my family got confused about which image was which, so they said Elks edit looks more like me. I'll try to get a new picture up sometime soon, no one I know owns a camera.  :blind:

EDIT: I finally got some time to edit it. I got frustrated with the hair and stopped working on it, I'll go back to it later once I've had some time away from it.

Alright before more crits (from me at least) either upload a newest picture or tell me you're committing to getting the likness off of the one you've posted in this thread :)

You mean picture as in a photo of me? Yeah I can't ever get a hold of a camera to be able to take a picture of me with. Next time I see my girlfriend I'll have her take a picture with her phone, but I dunno when that'll be.

alright so keeping to the reference, so far the nose is much better modeled and pixelled but... it's a bit too big for the face. You can either resize the nose or the whole head, heh, whichever breaks your heart less. The nose is too close to the mouth. The eyes need a bit more sculpting (but not too much). The neck is invented, follow your reference there more. 

You're coming a long way with this but you have to be braver still :)

Still having trouble with the hair there. I wish I had a better reference for you guys so you knew what my hair looked like, it must be frustrating trying to help with something without a good reference.

EDIT: Made some changes to the hair

Make it more like strands, like, have them be hurdles of lines instead of a smooth surface. It makes your hair look liek a pillow.
Photocopier: the fact that arne can also code so well
Photocopier: is horrificly unfair

In all honesty, I don't think that's needed. Just disregard the actual line between hair and face and it all comes together fine - I think it's the line between hair and face that needs to be tweaked a little O:! Hair needs to cast more distinct shadow upon the face and contrast needs to be lessened so it all doesn't look so burnt

I was actually just working on adjusting the colors when you posted that  :lol:


EDIT: Got a new reference pic, although it's not a good pic. It's more accurate than the last one.


EDIT2: Made my head smaller because my previous head was as big as jimmy neutrons  :blind:
