The eyes are really standing out.
Skintone's are very real.
But you should tone down the black line under the eyes.
It looks like a coalpencil that girls are using today.

Looking good Mike, very nice reds!
I think the top of the under eyelid is too light. should be the highest flesh color.

Cheers,
Marcel.

Lastest photo, got the eyes toned down a bit. The eagle needs more work ,thinking of highlights with silver printers ink ?. So far this piece is all acrylic"s.
