I think it's a tad too over edited.  It's starting to look too "painted/airbrushed" especially in the eyes, which just look kinda weird. XD Also, I think leaving the highlights on his face and nose would look good.  Men don't usually need a lot of editing in my opinion because the scruffiness of heavily textured skin actually makes them look good.  Hahahaha, but that's just my opinion...I like my men tough! big_smile

But overall, it's not too bad.  I would just watch out to not airbrush too much. ^_^

Thanks for the feedback. I actually redid the eyes completely and I agree they just look too fake. I wasn't sure if it was because I knew what had been done that they seemed off or if they just genuinely were weird looking. Thanks for your comments. Keep 'em coming.
