Nicely done, Jimmie, unique, visually enjoyable features well captured.

You're aware of the "flash" monster, so let me just point out one thing that's implicated by that, which is the ear on our right. That very light value, together with the shadow line completely separating the ear from the face, is pulling that ear way forward and presenting a bit of awkwardness in the presentation. Lower the value, soften at least some of the contour edge down around the lobe, and eliminate at least the lower half of that shadow line, and the ear will go back where it belongs, visible but not unduly prominent.
