looks fine atm
still needs to be painted so it starts to give the idea you want
his face says sadness and anger not panic, imo.
the mapping looks good.. looks like you're finally doing something different at least.
Good mapping, different idea. Not sure I like the "fake eyes covering his real eyes" thing. You already got fake eyes on top (eyes of the shell) and having more fake eyes below seems a bit much. Also, the shell looks really goofy, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is if we are meant to take this guy's problem seriously. Maybe we aren't. I think it could turn out hilarious if you made the shell even goofier by adding googly eyes and making it look like a muppet, while making the guy's face even more sad and anguished, without the fake eyes. It'd create an amusing contrast.
Wow the composition of the head is just perfect. I also like the Idea, nice one!
