Oh man, okay, what do I say? THIS IS AN AWESOME IMPROVEMENT! All the new details rock. I'm digging the new hair - it shows 300% more confidence and skill and the use of color brings out some additional cool details, like the bounce light (or magic glow) around the hand, and make the teeth design on the turtleneck/hoodie pop. The blood splatter too is more evident, and the use of blur for some of the splatters creates that dynamic illusion of movement.



And yet. And YET. I think you also lots something with the upgrade from 2016. He was so much creepier back then! The heavier shadows around the eyes and the smirk in the lips of the 2016 version gave him extra menace points. This year's version has a mouth that's more relaxed and eyes that are bigger and brighter (good for showing off their color, not so good for the now gone shadowy look that 2016 rocked so well), and more prominent. The face doesn't have as much intensity now. Fix that, and this piece will KILL IT. (And anyone else who gets on this character's bad side).



That's my half-bit critique. But seriously, amazing improvement. Keep doing what you're doing, because it's awesome as hell.
