UPDATE:

So I saw The Hobbit the battle of the five armies and absolutely loved it. But one of my favorite parts of the movie and the last hobbit film was BOLG son of Azog. personally one of my favorite orc designs in recent memory. His armor, his face, the metal coming out of his body I just loved all of it. So I've decided that he would be my next character.

Reference sheet below:

This is what i got so far, Im going to be adding more detail to the parts of the skin that rip and tear, especially where the metal pop out of his ribs I just wanted to layout the anatomy first.

    Everything you got so far is solid work, but I think you should already focus on adding more bulging to the the parts where the flesh meets the metal parts especially on the face. Also from this one angle it's difficult to say but I think your cheeks still need some more work. Otherwise I think it's a solid start you got.

    EDIT: Also looking at your refs, the jaw and chin of the character is still not there yet. Also I would try to make the mouth look a little meatier. To me the mouth doesn't quite feel fleshy enough.

    I'd pull down the metal part of his forehead *edit* in *edit* a bit more maybe pull around the eye out to reflect the distortion the metal is creating in his skull and skin as the angle in the bottom left nicely shows. I think the further you push that asymmetry of his head splitting and being held together, the better his image will sell.

    He's looking super sweet so far though, keep it up!

    Lavitz - Hey man thanks for the crit but I'm a little confused to which metal plate your referring to in the first part of your crit.

    Also here is a front shot of his face from the movie as ref

    My only crit would be that I feel the upper lip region (nose to lip) feels a little thin. It looks brittle, like you could break off pieces of it with your fingers. Maybe give it a little more beef...

    Sorry, I'm not the best at explaining what I mean.
    I think his left cheek can be pulled out a bit more along with the eye, and the Metal/Dent in his head can be sunken in a little more.

    I think you should add a bit more volume to the upper lip. Not a lot, but something. The refs have that "swollen" look to them. Other than that, lookin' good!
