Sci-Fi Painting / Character Portrait

Work in progress

My latest digital painting, I'm not sure if this piece is actually finished or not. I have spent several evenings on minor changes and feel like forward progress has ceased.

painted in PS7.

really nice mate.

I realy like the background. and the metals.

I think somthing structuraly about the face bugs me a bit. Not to sure. I think if the helmet was covering his ear, the ear would be far too back on the head. Assuming he has ears :)

thanks for the comments :)
I spent another hour or so tinkering and I think that i will call it done now. For those that say "hey! he posted the same image again!" the one below has lighter forground features (to pull it off the background a bit more), warmer colour in the characters face and clothing highlights, a little texture etc added and a minor helmet adjustmet (thanks denz).
