Advice and critiques for a character for an animated short

Sosana

Hi guys,

I need some advice and your opinion on my character in progress for an animated short. Textures and hair are not final, I'm testing materials and hairstyles. I would like to have your feedback on these questions:

1. How old do you think he is?
2. How could I make him younger?
3. Comments on anatomy?
4. What do you think about his personality, how does he look like?
5. How could I make him more appealing?

Thankkk you Any other critique or/and advice would be most welcome!

1. 27-28
2. smaller jaw
3. lips are too flat
4. positive
5. he already looks very appealing, I can't tell

Regarding 3., the lips are reading too flat because the sides of the mouth aren't "pinching" into the sides and slightly conforming to the contours of the teeth.  There needs to be a bit of a divot there.

Definitely one of my early mistakes when I was leaning how to sculpt faces as well.

Thank you very much, Brian and Veljko

Do you have any other suggestions for anatomy or comments on character?

Hi Brian,

Here is the improved version of character, so if you have time to comment, I would really appreciate it 


Thank you!
