That's pretty friggin' cool for a first sculpture, man! That said, it still needs a lot of anatomic build-up and further refining.I'm going through the same process right now, and I would suggest looking around online for any and all images of human musculature and learn how the muscles of the head and neck move, and how those in turn shift the skin over top of them. You will soon begin to understand why the skin on your face moves the way it does, which areas wrinkle and bend, which direction they stretch, etc.. Then you can incorporate all that into your Orc design to make it look much more believable and realistic - as well as emotionally charged.One thing I'd DEFINITELY recommend is joining the forum at www.theeffectslab.com and do a monumental amount of research on the topic of sculpting. Almost everything in the universe about sculpting methods, anatomy, different clays, and various tools has been covered extensively on that forum, so it's an absolutely invaluable tool for beginners - including myself!'Hope that helps!Cheers,Ryan
