I would say that at the minute, it doesn't look like his head fits onto his body. They look good individually, but together they don't work as well.
Exaggerate some of his head proportions, maybe try giving him a larger forehead or shrink his facial features. The proportions on the body look good but on his head they look too normal.
It's looking good! Although I would tweak your spec map a little. Right now I feel that it is too uniform, too even. He looks like a plastic figurine. The face usually has a little extra grease on the nose and forehead, so those should shine a little more than the rest of the face. Try getting a little noise in the spec, see if that helps. I've found asphalt (yes, asphalt) to be pretty good for a spec map if you tweak it and overlay it properly. Give that a try!
Other than that, the bake turned out very, very well! Keep it up!
nice work so far! but i think you could make the chainmail better readable with bigger rings, also it would support his small size. Btw is this a correct chainmail pattern? it looks bit too gridlike, if it is i'd say delete some of the rings and rotate some other to make it more interesting to look at. Dunno how you built your armor, maybe this helps
looking great!.. I think a huge belt would look cool on him or so
he feels a bit naked to me due to the contrast of big armor vs little chain-mail skirt
The spec is making it real difficult to differentiate between materials and separate parts. If it spec'd as much as some of the highlights, it would be much more reflective due to its polish. It seems you're going for a duller look based on the diffuse, so a much less even spec map would help everything pop much more.
Was there an issue with the chainmail in the end....to be fair it looked rather busy in the earlier shots as Neox mentioned, but its a shame not to include it in the overall design

Looks like Vin diesel :P

Nice start.
Trying to find color solve for my gnome's armor.
