    Looks good to me. But I have only done a few boars myself.

    The eyes arent set right & the finish work is sloppy. Use some reference & take your time.

    Looks like the seam around the nose may be showing. Also what is that spot over the rt eye??

    The eye shape is off and their sunken in too far.. (Reference).. Never seen a pig with a Black shinny nose. Use some flesh, paynes greys, browns.. Unbar etc.. Mix em up and go softly.. The pink in the nostril shouldn't show much if any.... I would back brush the hair on the snout and forehead.. Something isnt lining up right..Maybe the skin isnt taxied correctly. Once you try and fix what everyone mentioned, take some more pic and post em up.
