They're too thin! Make them wider.

The face tones are hardly visible at 1x. Otherwise nice.

I increased the size of the face by 2 pixels high and 1 pixel wide, and worked on the eye, because I want it to be less cartoony

love the smooth eye blinking and the new eyes look fantastic! I'd love to see the new eye style on the other portrait :>
