Fantastic picture! Quite different from your fantasy stuff.

By the way, could you hint which anatomy book do you use for your muscle studies?

This is very professional, and no real critiques to give.. However, I did wonder what it would look like if the shadow was opposite, so I tred to do a paint over with shadow opposite.

I didn't really do the best job on the shadow. Its a little too dark, and not defined well.

The only reason I did this was to see if projecting the shadow opposite would look better.

I also made a few other changes just more for fun. Like making the head look more normal to me, and adding more human muscles in boy eye (to me).

I also made tooth a little smaller as it looks just a bit too big for my taste but nothing is wrong with it (in your picture). However, I would like to see it "pushed back" more into the mouth. I didn't do that but I think that would look more interesting.

Anyway, on the shadow. I think your shadow does add tension to the image. However, the tension it adds does make it more interesting. But, at the same time (to me) it makes it a bit annoying too.

I don't think the shadow must be changed. I cropped the image in this one to try to add a little more of the tension after the shadow was removed.

I think after thinking about the shadow in both places. I still can't decide. Maybe its just what you want.

Nice work again!
