very!

Very what?

Neat and clean. and the human head looks more appropriate here than in the drawings

I need to know how it looks less appropriate in the drawings.

Maybe it was rude of me. just my subjective opinion. I just saw something very close to perfection, but something does not allow it to be completely perfect. I want to keep this 3d face unchanged, but at the same time add more animality to the head. These are mutually exclusive desires at first glance. it's just that your character reminded me that I once tried to find a solution for this problem.

I didn't perceive it as rude, more as a possible constructive criticism. By now, the head has gotten a bit less human by virtue of some vertex-pushing, as I want it to look closer to the drawings (the current version is in the "Z-spheres" render).

Well)
I didn't really notice any changes in the Z sphere)
But I have no desire to change anything in the 3d version.
I was also very pleased with the version in the form of a dragon. It's very powerful. the form is very real and radiates cold cruelty.
If you don't mind, I would try to sketch his human form according to my wishes.
I won't post it anywhere.
I just can't explain in words what I would like to see. I don't know how to do it myself, it needs to be thought up.

It's subtle - face got longer (not really visible with that angle), eyes got bigger, the shape of the eyelids and default angle of the antennae got changed.
Interesting interpretation, as I find the dragon version to look pretty silly because of the angle.
You mean the default form or actually as a human? Feel free to post it, I'm sure the few people who read the stories this character is from would be interested in your take as well.

I will "improve" the form by default))
again, I do this only for myself, and in order to sharpen the ideal of the form, without the desire to replace the character. that is, I can even specifically change the color and facial features so that it is a different person

Still, I'm interested in your take. I wouldn't see it as a replacement, but as redesign, or "inspired by", which are things I'm doing often enough myself with creatures from movies or games.

I say this because I have often met creative people who have worlds and universes rich in stories and characters, and almost all of them are shaking over their every pixel, and God forbid, someone will want to improve them!

Nah; I'm aware that people have different tastes and you making a design you find personally more appealing won't magically turn all my previous and future creations into your version. But I'm genuinely curious what you are going to do.

I want to make it even more human and at the same time less human. ahah))))))
imagination says it will be cool, I say and you try to do it! I'm also at a loss. I hope something will work out

Well, in that case it's best to sketch different ideas and see which looks best before deciding onto anything.

Ah, I got carried away listening to the book. and this is not a sketch at all))
Unfortunately, by making changes, I have already lost many of the features that I really liked about your character, and in order to try to restore them, I will need to do everything again. not now. and it wouldn't be easy.
now it's a completely different personality

Must be an exciting book.
Well, it's best to take your time until everything is up to your standards. But even if nothing comes out of it, I'm still delighted to know that you enjoy the design enough to be invested in it like that.

the book Pride and Prejudice
the terrifyingly pretentious speech of each of her characters makes every pixel of the drawing branch out

my standards are so high that they are many times higher than my real capabilities and as a result I say "to hell with it, it's ready")))))

It will be ready soon, maybe for a few more hours.

Heard a lot about that one.
Well... that's pretty much my entire gallery, mere shadows of the great mental images I tried to bring onto paper or the screen.
