not sure what you mean about less white

but for the symmetrical, probably the next one I make wont be symmetrical, probably something based off the artwork by KMFDM

Awwwwwww thats a sick idea. The artwork isn't actually done by KMFDM, they enlist this artist, who's also done some covers for other bands, Faith No More's King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime, for instance

This piece is ok, i think it needs black around it defining more of the head, black perhaps defining the cheekbones.

The cheekbone shape, the straight egde bothers me, seems like their lighting is diff than the rest. Also with this type of *overhead* lighting (?) the thingies between the nose and upper lip would not shadow this way, it would be the center area not the ridge that shadows. The lower lip is not indicated to potrude enough to create such a thick shadow. Also the nose appears to be wide and flat so the shadow would be thicker. Do you have the *face* for this to show?

the source material for what I'm working on is a mix of these 2 images




the obey logo for the frontal view and the kmfdm poster for the shading

Those are quite conflicting since the Andre the Giant is a stylized silkscreen image utilizing head-on lighting, whereas the KMFDM is top lightning (as I suspected). In this case I would eliminate a color or two and skew the lighting just off-center (like head-on to the side of the nose a bit) to allow for interesting shapes.
