are you tracing the image in illustrator from a photo or sketch?

[plantationfarmer]

have a look at his guy's vector works

lots of details. i think he traced everything from a photo.
its a draining process but worth it!
i'm no expert, but i think you need to look more into the details.
good luck.

Looks kind of like Cubism to me, Cubism meets Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Props for coming back after getting slammed to. Most folk would just get defensive and slam back.
