    Hey man looks pretty cool, nice likeness. I'd probably say the eyes are too close together and lips slightly too thick. Its definitely getting there though, good start!

    I would agree with the eyes, they are just a hair too close together. I think the lips are spot on though. The first two reference images are deceiving because he is pressing his lips together, changing their relaxed shape.

    One way that I like to check if my likeness is correct is to do a survey. I'll send out an email to some of my trusted friends (the one's who will say my work looks like shit if it really does) of an image of just the lower half of the face and simply ask who they think it is. If they can tell me, I know that I am really close or even spot on. I'll send out another email to different people of the top half of the face. Again, use the same judgment. If they say I don't know, your proportions are off or it could just be that they may have never seen this person before. It's not fool proof all the time but I've had a lot of success with it.

    Without looking at your title or reference images, I would have known exactly who it is because of the nose and the mouth. The eyes, I think I would have known but there is some doubt in my mind. So that's why I say that they may be a hair too close.

    Great job on this! I'll be following this one!

    Looks great! You have a great likeness, its instantly recognisable and you don't even have a diffuse which is normally when things really come together, so the fact that you've hit that mark without a diffuse is good. =)

    The one beef that I can see that wasn't already mentioned, was the "sternocleidomastoid" (neck muscle) looks a bit like an octopus hanging from his neck. He is a pretty beefy guy but I think you went a little over the top and projected a bit too much of his over the top aggressive personality into that particular muscle... heh.

    Hmm it's a tricky one, I still can't read it as Shane a 100%. Maybe it's just me, either way. Good work on the sculpt there, can't wait for more updates :)

    I feel ya on this one. I think maybe its the shape/orientation of his mouth.

    He always seems to be pissed or in deep thought about something devious, which in turn makes his mouth a bit smaller with a down slope on either end. Just take a look at the source images he has.
