artstudio3, thanks for your feedback. If you have any opinions on the first two pieces, I’d love to hear. These are all works in progress, so please expect to see updates in the near future 
Here are a few more recent pieces, more stylized than “realistic”:

Jimmy and Joe are originals, design credits for the last guy go to Anthony Jones.
The concept for your last piece belongs to Anthony Jones. Real talented guy:

Thanks KPToons for the citation! I agree, Anthony is super talented.
Here are some more updates, being a bit more anatomy-focused here.
Don’t hold back that criticism!

Thank you again Pixologic, ZB4 is crazy awesome Those clip brushes have cut my average sculpting speed in half or more!
Lately, I’m especially enjoying making likenesses.

Great! Love it!
AA-ron, Iezho and asecbrush, thank you for the compliments and comments.
Still no internet at home… time getting sucked up by work lately, but somehow still fitting in Zbrush an hour here and there.
Starting to put skulls in my heads, I find it improves my speed as I have internal reference points for placement of the nose, ears, etc., forms that tend to float around regardless of strong reference imagery. I’m learning to follow my instincts, and I’m getting more used to the anatomy of the facial structure in general 
As always, looking forward to your comments and criticism!
