Hello, I've been working on this head for a few hours and I just wanted some opinions as far as proportions go and such. Any and every comments welcome. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

i posted something exactly like your post. so ill respond, i like your head, is this the first time youve tried to do something like this in polys? it hace a real nice shape to it but i think you could "clean up" the geometry especially around where the neck meets the head and the sides of the lips, but overal i think it looks pretty cool.
PS: i didnt read youre post too well before i posted so ill give you some hints on porportions too, the nose is a little big and pointy, it also needs more detail around where the nostrils meet the cheek, and i think if youre going for the old guy look with lots of character, you need to make the eyes more sunken into his head, and the eyes are a little big unless youre going for that cartoonish look.

Well, I don't know if you were going for a realistic head or not. One thing I do think is that the low ress model has way too many faces for the amount of detail that has been put into this model. Thats not a bad thing, you now have a good basic shaped head to start working in some detail. The head over all is very plain. There is not much character to it. The things you really need to work on are the nose, eyes, and cheek bones. With the nose, just make sure that you can see a slight bum in the nose where it goes from bone to cartalage (sp?). The eyes are too plain. You need to put in detail that makes them feel like eyes. They are too almond shaped right now, and both sides look almost identical to each other. As far as the cheek bones, well they seem like you need to bring the forward more. The addition of ears will help your head out also. People respond to ears whether they know it or not. Make sure if your going for a realistic looking head that you pay a lot of attention to the ears and add as much detail to them as possible. With some nicely crafted ears, people more likely not to notice if some other part of the head is sligthly off. Also pull the jowls forward more. Right now he has the look of someone stretching his face.
The mouth is nicely done. I like the over all shape of it. The only thing I would tweek on that is the fact that the line thats formed where the lips meet is a little too straight. It kinda looks like he is pushing his lips together. Check out your own lips are much as possible, there should be atleast a tiny bit of curves. Sometime people even have extremely curvey lips it just depends on how full you want there lips to seem.
