Sculpt nitpicking (cont..) (Patreon)

Ok, photoshop to the rescue. Wanted to work out what was wrong with the sculpt, or I wouldn't stop thinking about it. Pretty sure I've fixed it (says Naz for the 10th time). Hopefully I can translate these changes onto the actual sculpt. 

Any tips for making his eyes look 'kinder' would be appreciated. Not sure if it's because they are matte atm, but they look pretty blank.
