Thank you for the comments Daemon. I started drawing backgrounds and scenery far before I did characters. So there's a large gap in skill that needs to be evened for it to look less disjointed. Ahh yes the snakes' head, I think I was fooled by those, what are they called, neckflaps?? and counted them too much into the size of the head, which in itself, should, be much bigger!
The sidewiews came out of the fact that I didn't at the time know how to draw hair and eyes, so I replaced it with something more imaginative and it turned out pretty cool.
