I would agree that Dex is too big here, though I'm starting to wonder if that's partly because of me? Hehe, lately, I've considered the possibility that eight feet tall is too much, maybe...? Even a foot shorter would still have him tower over everyone else but it might make scaling him against the other characters a little easier? I dunno. I haven't decided to or not yet, not until I sit down and actually try a size chart and see what it looks like all laid out in front of me. His angry-face looks awesome though! You've paid perfect attention to all the details of the shape of his hair...his crazy eyebrows, his stunning beard...(sooo jealous of his beard. Wish I could have one like that. So stately.)

Corean's profile isn't as bad as you're saying though. I think her nose is just fine, the forehead is a little too forward but only just. The thing I would say, especially on the second picture, is to try some more squash and stretch with her face to really sell that expression. Scrunching her face up like that will leaves a good crease along her nose and toward the stretch of her mouth, for example. If you haven't yet, you should pick up that book I talked about before, The Artist's Guide to Facial Expression. It's amazing, breaks down every nuance of muscle movement and tell-tell wrinkles that makes every expression genuine. It's helped me out tremendously - expression is always the first thing people tend to compliment about my work, and I have that book to thank for that.

Also, also, you know a really great way to practice expressions and the squash and stretch? Put on a Disney movie and abuse the pause button to end up with some really great faces! Sometimes some downright weird and scary ones - it really helps you see how you can bend and exaggerate features to get some amazing results.
