Thanks Hewey and thanks Benz... i saw the 'mirror under the chin' post after i finished carving for the evening last night.

Here's what i've got so far: i had to dim the lighting to bring out the features since the flash was washing everything out.

i know that i need to work on the following:

more rounding and straightening of the head and brow line,
evening out around the upper lip and other areas, even out the ears and detail them, and smooth out all the edge lines, etc.

Benz, (or any other Moai artists) any more suggestions on the design? opinions on the mouth and chin area. i like the sweep of the jaw line, even though it's not 'purist', but should i do more tapering?

i'm not thrilled with the nose either, but....

any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks again all!
