It's finished? (that's what I infer from your statement)

Setting aside the fact that it seems not quite half done (time-wise), I'd say my biggest issue is the shape of the jaw. There seems to be a lot of chin, more than the daily recommended dosage (mostly in width, but distance from the mouth, too). The ears seem too high for the head position and could be a tad small.

It really seems like you didn't start with large enough brushes. The planes aren't well-defined and the values aren't defining the shapes very well.

It's not bad, certainly, but could use a little more care.
