Best I've seen out of your Gallery yet Ryan. The Skin is better a loit smoother in terms of the colour graduation. I'd suggest the old standby that Chris & I use of a few Glazes of Purple going into the hairlines on both the head and Cheeks. That and a touch of the base colour mixed with Purple to increase the adjoining areas to the Axe haft.. :D Mike.
I think it will look better if you don't post quite such an extreme close-up. You don't want to show off EVERY little flaw... :P Skin tone looks really good to me; unfortunately I'm still learning to do those myself.
