okay, been a while but I have a lot of updates!
First off, I took a free head model off of Thingiverse to start, and I initially sliced that to get a picture of what to expect. It had a very neutral expression though, so I took it into zBrush to give it some emotion. The piece is meant to represent an anger forcefully subdued, and I think I did a decent job. I wanted it to be subtle but I also needed to exaggerate because I knew detail would be lost when slicing anyway.
