Well, I did mean it to be low key (after all, I'm trying to protect the viewer from being exposed to too much of me ), but in all seriousness I'm keen to know if I went too dark with this.

Yes I think it is too dark. Too dark for my taste anyway. I feel you've lost too much facial detail on the left side.

I makes you look kinda sinister as it is atm (which we all know you aren't).
