The lip piercings are okay, but the broken teeth are a bit too much, and not that well done...the 2 shadows on the nose don't match either.

i like the entry but i personally think the teeth are overdone

i like the thorn work -- but agree that the teeth need some work to improve them to give the hoes and cracks some dimension . The holes look a bit stuck on -- nice effort however

The teeth are a bit distracting, yes. Together with the shadow-fix on the nose and you're done author! Good luck

allright, i agree with you about the shadows on the nose, it was total mistake and i fixed it now, but i don't know why you all say that teeth are a overdone... I mean thats the idea and the main part, not the thorns. However i tried to remove some holes and textures and it just looks awful for me, so i didn't made any changes here, because personaly i like the teeth. maybe it doesn't look real, but use your imagination. i think it looks fine, but thanks all for suggestions

Well done with the improvements

and you're totally right about the decision you make with the teeth, After all it's your entry. For me it still look like those tattoos that you can put on teeth, but that's my opinion and not your problem

. Good luck

The shadows cast by all these thorns are wrong, the light source is from the upper left, check the shadow of the nose on his upper lip.

Great idea! If you gave the edges of the breaks in the teeth some greater edges so that the teeth look thicker (instead of like thick paper) that might help

Just a suggestion! Overall I like it! Great mood and great idea!

I don't think you should shatter the teeth at all. Perhaps like they are forcing their way out the gums and between the teeth instead?

I actually like the teeth, but they could use a bit of work, looks a little cartoonish. major chang i would make is with the thorn shadows. on the face there is a single light source making one shadow. but on the thorns it looks like a dual light source, one light in boton left corner, shining on thorns tops, and one light in top left, shining on bottom of thorns. id either, change the shadows of the face, to reflect the second light in the bottom left, or eliminate the shadows from the bottom left light on the thorns.

and there seems to be a line or a merge thats out of place nexts to the nose on the right hand side.
