His mouth seems sideways and extends well past his eye (width wise) and his ear doesn't align with the eyebrow or nose and seems way to far off to the right.
Should try another approach to character designs but I let a person's face tell me a story. I'll morph it out as I progress with some ideas.

Ron Burgandy is down! and it is Baddd!
The worm has turned and it's packing an uzi!
I don't know what I did to deserve your common courtesy. I feel privelaged.
Yes, his mouth is sideways, because he's making a thinking face. Actually the top of his ear does align to his eye line but for all intents I wanted to draw him with small ears. He's a bad listener and all.
Is exaggeration still allowed in drawing?
Excuse me....I guess I won't give you any ****ing input then.
Still doesn't change the fact that a lot off elements are way off... the side of is mouth is a complete eye length wider than the eye.
I could on but I won't waist my time.

U mad bro?
Your little rant about common courtesy rubbed me the wrong way.
Actually I do like that you took the effort to do an overlay for crazy chicken. Kudos.
Let me correct this sketch so it's symmetrical and it fixes the issues in your eyes so I haven't wasted your valuable input.
Hey...bro!
I made a thread because of the stuff I saw and people complaining. I tried to address is in a nice non-confrontational way and maybe get people a little more feedback.
Your the one who got the bug up his ass. I point out some anatomy issues and you come back with little butt-hurt asshole comments.
Hit and run comments...what... you want an essay? At least I post in peoples threads. Sometimes it's a crit, other times it's praise because their work rocks.
Your line work is nice...have a nice day.

I actually agree with dxdragon about the mouth. If you take a look at a real person making that expression, his/her mouth doesn't actually shift very far out of place. Generally the edges of the mouth line up with the inside corners of the eyes. If you take a look at yourself making that expression in a mirror, the corn of the mouth will only shift a centimeter at most, and that is because the skin is stretching it that way, not actually because the jaw is moving at all. Most of the expression is made by the dimples crimpling up on one side. You have the corner of the mouth stretching to well past the outside of the eye. It's not an easy expression to get right, especially from the angle you've chosen, so kudos for giving it a go.
Not trying to take sides.
This does seem more of a caricature. The face does give a sort of Rodney Dangerfield look, whose face sometimes stretches and contorts in cartoonish ways.
This character says washed up hero or a man on hard times becoming a villain. Nice pencil tech.
dx, you're awesome, bro. Thanks for the input, same goes to Fisher. Neon, understood what I was going for. A caricature or expression of a weathered character.
Anyhoo, this one below was a ballpoint pen version while the first one was done on a tablet pc. Needs tweaking such as his augmented glove because it's too small in comparison to his other hand and I need to change his muscular arm to a flabby one.

are you going for some really off proportion anatomy? because at this point the figure work looks very strange. it's hard to know what you are going for though because while the rendering is semi realistic the proportions are super cartoony. it's a bit confusing.
