Howdy,
Back with an update, after seeing your paint over and what you described the issues started standing out to me. Other than the hair it mostly looks like a series of small errors that have led to an larger problem and I know I am prone to small errors. First when you said the angle of the head was off from the face it kind of caught me when you said it looked like a little less than 3/4 when what I was going for was more like just a little turn from from center. I believe the nose, the shape of the right side of his head and his left eye to be big causes of this. Also I undone the left over anime style to his eyes, over sizing them apparently just doesn't work, holding to style may have worked with Bowser since he is a monster anyway but Naruto being human it just stood out too much as an oddity. Hair, once again I was sticking too closely to the anime drawings of him and not taking enough liberties to make it real, hopefully it is working a lot better now. Still need to work on the muddy textures and the head band is still a bit warped from adjusting it but hopefully this is much more on the right track physically.
