You might want to smooth out the top of the heads where the wrinkles are. Also, the eyes in the last pic need some work, mainly the inner part and the corners.

Otherwise it’s very good, are these for an animation?

:o Very cool! And by the way, very good ears! How do you do that?

@Wiggie, yeah - the eyes will be corrected, they’re just stand-in
modelling for now.

@4Daniel, the ears are very simple to make, takes only an hour.

What I did was the following.

  1. Take a picture of an ear (or find one on the net)
  2. Put the image on a stretched plane object
  3. See the image from the front or side view
  4. Add another plane (this is the one we build the ear with)
  5. Resize the plane to fit the outer ear edges
  6. extrude along ear-shape (edges)
  7. when the extrudes have been placed along the ear-paths, start to
    build faces (F-button) between the extruded paths.
  8. Mark the extruded path, and extrude the path…the ear becomes apparent.
  9. Use soft selection (O-button) to drag the ear into Z-depth shape
  10. Build and fix the rest of the shape and remove faces to fit to mesh.

That’s it. Maybe I’ll make a simple tutorial one day.
