Tell me what you think of this model I did. All creative criticism welcome. Opinions of the model and textures etc…

AHHHH!! Sorry that was a little scary. have you ever seen the Goonies? It looks like you are going for realism here (blah - but that is just my opinion - flawed as it may be) I think you should take a second look at the eye socets especialy. Try to keep in mind the bone structure and have a mirror in front of you or photo ref. There seems to be almost no socet for them to sit in and they look like they are sitting tward the outside of the socet that is there. Also if you are trying to go for a childs face the wrinkles should be alot more subtile - right now it looks like a face of a late 20 year old. This head has some great qualities to it that are very erie. If you put this head on a childs body it would freak me out. You should expierment with the idea - Good luck.
That’s one butt-ugly kid (apologies if it’s you). Pretty good model. The eye sockets are ok if you’re going for a puffy eye look. If that’s the case you should work on the texture and add shadows and wrinkles inder the eyes and make the eye texture match the face. Also, tighten the cvs around the eyeballs. Otherwise it’s pretty good and freaky.

You proportions are much closers to that of an adult’s. I would sketch (scribble) with pencil and paper to try and isolate some of the more familiar attributes of children versus adult. If you can’t draw a distinction on paper, you probably won’t be able to pull if off in 3D either.
Here is a couple of suggestions: Kids have huge craniums in comparison to the lower portion of their skulls. They have very large foreheads that protrude father than their brow. The eyes are usually quite large and almost always have very long eye lashes.
Hope this helps,

Thats a nice face but is there something wrong with the chin? It looks like the chin is further back into the head than the upper mouth area. Perhaps you could pull those points out more, not to give the kid a huge chin but just so his face remains relatively straight.
What stikes me most is his bright blue eyes, i noticed a lack of detail around the eyes, your model will come together better with a bit more detail around the eyes. It is the main focal point
of the face.
Man that’s fukked basically
I like your texturing! I would work on proportions more. teach yourself by modelling eyelids,nose ears,mouth over and over as seprate objects, oh! and try it without imageplane drawings.This helped me so much! I feel it gave me a better understanding on how to manipulate geometry to my needs, now I can load up an imageplane and my model looks exactly like it. I realy hope this works for you.
your skill is more important than the software you use.
The colored part of the eye (iris) is too big by about 30 %
and he doesn’t have any eyebrows. Does he have 5 o’clock shadow? A kids ears would be smaller; those are old man’s ears. I like the apparent translucency of the ears.

I agree mostly with Mike, the parts that need work are the eyes definately too fake. The skin is very scarily realistic, it strikes me as odd because the modeling is slightly off on proportions, especially the ears and eyes. I would change the title to 40 year old alien, instead that was the first thing that popped into my head. Your strong point is definately the texturing, kudos its pretty good.. but definately need eyebrows and eyelashes it will pull the eyes into the face some more..
move the vertices on each eye corner closer to the eyeball. Right now, I can see inside the head… which is scary!
You’re trying to show the asymmetry of the kid’s face, but I think you overdone it.
I think the texture Is too dark and blotchy for a kid’s face… you should try using specular map so the texture don’t look so flat… but I think you should re-model the head first… unless you intend to make the face scary… if that’s the case, you did a good job!
