The anatomy of the hog is a bit off to me. If you draw a line from the center of the nostrils on the nose to the center of the ears, which makes the wrinkle between the eyes a bit off and the tusk is located right in the center also. Do you understand what I am describing?

Other than the anatomy it appears you have a nice start, keep on going!!
