i had to remake eyes, coz it was just wrong when i made eye pupils, they were too close to nose. So i think now its correct and eyeballs are naturally big now. Then i had to make nose smaller, coz it seems big - it will be a woman finally :)
Added some eyebrow made in photoshop with brush. Iam gonna texture her a bit. Not too much detail, coz there will not be a need to. Some hair, cap and there is to it.

I can tell you - character modeling is very very challenging! I spent hours just moving SDS mesh vertices to get the right shape.

Looks good!

I only tried to make a character once. The ears were at least as complicated and the rest of the head.

I forgot to mention that you did a great job with the ears. They look correct. (which is no easy task as you probably know).
Keep this going.

Very nice job with the face. The only thing I can comment is the staring eyes. Look at this image of how the upper eyelid is:

http://www.shutterstock.com/pic.mhtml?id=57298372

The iris of the eye is hidden of the top eyelid and some of the white area of the eye ar more visabel at
the bottom. Look at people you meet in the eyes to see thats this is true.

Otherwise is a very good job. I couldn't do it better.

well. that pic you showed is taken from up and she is looking up a little. And mine pic is just the in neutral position, maybe i will close her eyes a bit. I will see that after I import the head into tS "head plugin", coz i dont have that experiences. But i still think this will hope and with gestures she will look more natural, not like this neutral. we will see, maybe you are right. But anyway, iam not that good so far, I need to make one more head to make it look more natural. Maybe I will make a better mesh next time.

pugman: ya ears cost me lot of effort to cover it, but i dont know if she will look better with short hair showing ears :) maybe some other version of her.
