Oh my! A portrait again…
Hm… yea well It was about time to work on something high poly again. Trying for a different style, more stylized sort of… - just a relaxing piece. 
Looking great! The things beside the ears look to sharp and sudden though, like you’ve just gone and stuck a cylinder there.
Thanks.
Heh yea, you are right. I noticed how odd it looked after posting myself.
A little bit of progress… kinda have my hands full.
Not yet sure if I should make the collar(?) of the jacket furry-ish or not. I’ll probably be lazy. 
His hairline looks a bit high to be a boy.
It looks like the art style. Ever read Tin-tin?
yeah, it kinda reminds of a character in tintin… didn’t notice that until you said it was.
hey! I’m still on it, even though slowly. 
Just some material tests… parts I like, parts I don’t.
The part of his nose between the nostrils looks quiet thick, while the sides look very thin in comparison.
How about eyebrows?
The nose/mouth area is bothering me. His lips aren’t too bad, but there’s no dip under his nose and nose to mouth is too big a space. It throws it off. But not bad, I like it so far.
Hey, I have some suspicions, but I really can’t tell, could I see a wireframe?
Also, I agree with other peoples’ comments. Still, though, it’s coming along well. It looks like it’ll be good.
Bit of progress again…
Again a little update. Mainly background - duh, and a bit materials.
Still not happy with the jacket.
Thought about the suggestions, but I don’t think he needs a ‘dip’ and the mouth sits just fine where it is now… no brows either, they would break the style - me thinks.
If you are tryin to mimic “old-style” goggles I don’t think they had colored glass in em. Here are some references.

And by the look they kind of reminds me of swimming goggles.
Great job otherwise.
Nice so far - i like the background with the wind sock, and how you used DoF - its a nice touch. Could you mayby make th collar abit more bulky/fatter/rounder? If you know what i mean… it just looks abit flat at the moment. I would, as you suggested, make it more furrry.
Looks great so far.
Thanks!
Now that you mention it… the goggles are kind of un-aeronautic-ish… :o have to think about that one.
I will also think about the furry collar again. But I’d rather not use particles… they hate my guts!
Wow, what a slow wip this is.
Well… changed the goggles design away from swim gear… hopefully.
And gave him a furry collar… I can’t express how much particles annoy me.
Still working on pretty much everything.
To be honest I still think they look like swimming goggles… flight goggles doesn’t fit into the eye-socket, they more or less cover the eye-socket.
Made a really quick paint over to show how I should have done it.
Great fur otherwise… like it alot.

I love it! Pilots are awesome. I love the chinstrap.
If it’s any help, this was a costume I wore a while ago. Those goggles are probably one of the coolest things I own. (I’d just had flour thrown in my face)
Alright… you guys really hate those goggles.
That’s my final offer on the matter. 
Yea… played with lighting and nodes… maybe a bit overboard. :rolleyes:
Only going to change some small things like the goggle straps(?) and work on some folds in the leather or something.
Some more attention to the background and then - finally - paint the rest of the textures.
…hope to wrap it up soon-ish.
Well I’m done with it. Thanks to everyone commenting here. Really appreciated.
