Yes the expression was great i agree but i choose to go for the evil eye and that require ''high contrast" and loosing some detail help that.I tried for a long time to tweak the direction of light and intensity but when you use 3d light you have to either pick your battle or go over it and fake the direction of the light.That what i learn in this one. Stylize lighting is done alot faster if you ''paint the light'' rather have the 3d light which give the more realistic sometime more complex shadow shape that can ''mess'' with the flow of where you want the eye to fall.
I wasn't happy with how the nose was catching light from below because of it shape it would catch more light then flat surface and take away from the eye which are more important.
Even if the expression was a serious and strong one i wanted to portrait something more ominous and evil.
Being one of my very early organic sculpt i am pretty please with the result it wasn't so much about the result then trying new thing and expanding my 3d experience.
