haha, I like the style few changes, 1. I don't have a beard, 2. I like the blue one more, as I don't want to copy him completly just the same style

Here's my revision...

 

[handeyman]

Ok definitly an improvment, love the hair, eyebrows, and overall design, here are things to change,
1. There a little jut in the upper left cheek, either round it out, or make the face, go all the way to the ear.
2. Don't like the lines going through my face and neck.
3. Also I'm not liking something about the darkness under my eyes, I don't know try changing that somehow. Not sure if I like how its connected to the eyebrows, or maybe remove the whole thing, I'm not sure.

This is my favorite submission so far, want it to be perfect

 

[yule]

Here's my revision. I've done some variations on the darkness under my eyes for you.

1.

2.

3.

 

[handeyman]

awsome, more good improvements! Ok I like the third one the best,
things to change,
1. Finish the lips up, no blank spaces, also thin them the slightest bit possible, very small amount.

2. Make my nose more narrow, I have a huge jewish nose, (I can say that cus I'm jewish), anyway although its big, its more narrow and long, not real wide.

Looks real good

 

[yule]

How this...

 

[handeyman]

good,
1. the nose is still a little too wide.
2. The lips just don't look real, try to get a more authentic lip look

 

[yule]

I've made the nose narrower.
Difficult with what to do with the lips, is this better...

 

[handeyman]

The nose still needs to be a little thinner, also the lips still just don't look good,
Note: In real life my bottom lip is a little thicker than my top lip. Maybe try thinning both but maybe making the bottom a little thicker than the top.

 

[yule]

My update...

 

[handeyman]

The nose should be more narrow on top, and the lips just don't look real, study my picture and try to make them a little more real looking.

 

[yule]

Ok, well i will do so in the morning, its just gone 1AM my time.
Night.

 

[yule]

Here’s what I've come up with. There’s a variation on the lips.

1.

2.

 

[handeyman]
