I think adding the lighting will make a big difference to how you see it.
It looks awesome to me, the only thing I see different is above the eye, it looks a little too inflated. You probably see it that way because of the shadows.
I would add a light top right and slightly in front off the model. And perhaps a fill light to the left as we look so the left side (as we look) is not to dark.
That should help.
Hair and other details can make a huge difference. Imagine how different you would look if you shaved your head. I know, my hair hardly grows anymore 👴
