I think the sculpting on the jeans looks pretty cool, but the scale of the folds doesn't suggest boy to me. If I cover up the upper body it looks like an adult male lower body.
don't try to balance between childlike and menacing. it's a kid with a skull for a head, that's menacing enough. so just sculpt a childs skull. my biggest crit is... teeth don't all belong at the front of the mouth.
Quick update, got the jacket base done. I wasn't looking forward to making it, but fortunately it came out ok. I'll sculpt it out some then add hard surface stuff like zips/belts etc after. Also. bigger image.
Ok todays update. I'm pretty much done with the sculpt as far as I can see, but I'm leaving it open to suggestions from a more proffessional point of view as to how I could improve it. Also did a very quick and dirty colour study.

Started working on the base mesh, using the younger proportion guide. Crits at this stage on form would be awesome as I wanna nail this before I get into sculpting.
Well I'm calling the sculpt done. I need to move on to the low res, I don't wanna run out of time and I'm gonna need a fair while to get the bike built and especially to learn/use Unreal Cascade. Dreamer made the excellent suggestion of oversizing the chain, for some reason it slipped my mind in my previous screenshot that…
Thanks for the replies everyone. Barnstable - Yep the arms were shrunk on the base after that pic, they were indeed to long and a bit fat. Almighty-Gir - Good call. I've tried to make the skull more childlike now, making the features smaller and more 'grouped together' and also tried to curve the teeth round to the sides…
Thanks man. I'm not sure what you wanna know specifically about the pants but it kinda went like this; Extract them from the sculpt and get a nice shape at a low subD level, work the overall shape up the levels so they have a good shape throughout and don't end up looking too blobby. Add some big folds and creases at lower…
