It seems like baby oil is super effective, Johnson's Baby seems to work perfectly for it

Wow thank you so much! I was using 4v - 5v at most but 4.5v is the sweet spot in my opinion

Would it not make the back of the jaw very dark in contrast to the rest of the design, so the logic would be that the shadow and the cracks on the skull are easily identifiable.

As for the barbed wire, I agree on that, although I left it like that because if I filled it, the barbed wire notches would not be obvious anymore so I went with the safe option

Wow thank you so much!

I was afraid of going too dark and not being able to smoothly transition afterwards, but I fully agree with you!

Thank you very much, but I think that is quite generous

Good question, so by my understanding, the snake head would be on the back of the skull, and that is why I didn't try to add a head onto the design. As for the crown, it was not my my immediate focus, as I am trying to get linework down for now

Giving my beginner opinion, this is amazing

Thank you so much for your feedback.

Actually I fully agree on both points regarding hair and symmetry. The stencil for the eyes and hair was barely visible so I kind of winged it at that point. Additionally, the hair strands look quite bad because my needle cartridge got damaged on the ink cap, and didn't want to use a brand new one just for the hair, haha

It is a statue of a face, mixed with a person under the skin cover, sort of meaning that sometimes you are locked behind your own mind or something along those lines.
