After being contracted to work on the main character model head I started with a base mesh and manipulated it to match the proportions of my sketch drawings more closely.

I continued to refine the character sculpt with the help of photo reference taken by the BSG team of their model of choice.
The ears were particularly challenging but it was a great lesson in going back to the basics and really digging into a reference to understand the forms.
After a day of work I ended up with this.
I got some feedback to adjust the eyelids to pull them back so they don't quite match the reference for geo rigging purposes.

After adjusting the eyelids briefly I went on to attach the body to the new head.

I'm quite happy with how the head replacement turned out for a quick turnaround with just a couple days work. The body will now be retopoed with the merged body and new head.
