thank you guys very much for taking a look and for your your comments. i know you never can please everyone, but i`m glad that most people seem to like it. 
@Buckie
thanks.
yes, due to the CGTalk Frontpage plug, imageshack deleted my pics due to the high-bandwith usage. i fixed one of the links, a friend of my was kind enough to host the images on his server so it should work now.
@DarthWayne
hehe yes, nice head.
@jantim
thank you. i`ll try my best. 
@panstar

@boozy floozie

@Strannik
thanks.
@Davinci990
LOL thank you, nice idea with the blues brother. don`t know what you mean with “gunning for kruger”, but the krugerstars pics look awesome, thanks for the link. 
@slocik
sorry, i had no idea that there is any differences between those “mystical” rows, but i guess the people who are responsible for this are pros and so i think they know what they`re doing.
@toxictwin
are you serious? im sorry, but the only thing that these two images have in common is that there is a "turbulent male guy, looking kinda mean", youll find thousands of pictures like that on the internet, so should i give credits to each and everyone of them? in my case, i didn`t use any reference, i made this image just the way it came out of my mind.
@Giantsun
thank you.
@Blaine91555
thank you man for these words. i also think art is about emotion, not about Perfectionism (like someone also wrote on another forum). every image has its strong parts and its weak parts, but IMO the overall impression is what counts, because you can always find something to crit if you want to, no matter what image you choose.
@Chatin
thanks.
here`s a pic of the sculpting process if someone is interested:
and here`s an earlier WIP shot:
