[WIP] Character - African Militant

Croftyness

Hey guys,

Looking to add to my portfolio and get better. I've never done a black character and need to brush up on my Maya modelling skills, I thought an African militant would cover those areas well. 
The aim is to have a bust shot with a weapon resting on his shoulder. I've not decided on a weapon yet, but I'm 100% confident there are like 15+  AK-47 Maya tutorials on YouTube. 
This is what I got so far. CC welcome. Also if anyone has reference images or cool ideas Id love to see/hear. 

I will be streaming some of the processes on Twitch if anyone is interested:

This looks pretty sick, even without any lighting or textures it looks great!
