WIP of MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko. Still trying to practice capturing likeness and realism to my work.

quick update
quick color test
Looking good. keep pushing it.
hi. look realy good. especialy from the side, but i have some crits about front view. eyes a too far from each other. they must be closer a little. and ofcourse all details needs some refining.
have a little question. what reference pictures you used? i’m doing feodor too and at the moment gathering reference pics.
Cool, cool. Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate it. I see what you mean with the eyes, but its weird because when I line it up with a picture of him in photoshop, it seems to be ok. I’m sure my sizing or something is off, so will definitely check that out again. As for referencing, I’m using any current shots and videos of him that I can find. And I’m trying to make sure they are taken when he is close to a fight. I found those to be where he looks the leanest.
Here is where I’m at now with the sculpt. I’m doing something pretty not good with the shape of his head, so will refine that soon.
Again, thanks!!
quick update

wanted to post a comparison of the model and an image I was using for reference .
lookin’ good! the side profile looks pretty accurate, but the frontal views he seems to look like a pug. i think his eyes may be a little too far apart and the nose looks a little wide and too squared off.
haha like a pug huh? gotcha, gotcha. Well refine the eyes and nose. Thanks for the suggestions!!
Alright. made eyes closer and rounded out the nose a bit. working on the rest of the body now, so hopefully by tonight I can post a finished piece.
Good likeness.
Great job. It looks very much like him.
I have a couple of pointers that I can see from the reference.
See paintover:

I guess you’ll work on the asymmetry in the forehead later, but I painted it anyway.
Ears need a bit tweaking:
- I think you need a bit more space between the helix and the anti helix
- The tragus is more present on the photo.
Eyes:
- Lacrimal Caruncle is a bit wider/larger on the photo
- lower eyelids could use a bit cleaner arc and a bit more mass.
Nostrils:
- Maybe you have given him a bit too much curvy/swingy nostrils. A bit hard to see in this angle. Just give them a little check.
And a bit more of the depression in his cheek.
Once again, great work 
Look forward to seeing the body
