Thanks gang. Dann-O, I haven't really gone back to WINGS too much of late. I just borrowed the default model color from it for this one, as I liked it more than my usual brown-grey tone. 

Billy, I haven't gotten the chance to see the film but I did visit Kolby Jukes Tweak forum, where they're having a session on creating characters similar to that in the film. Looks like the movie was a CG tour de force! 

So, here's an update. I took it to Hex for a rough displacement test. I didn't displace the mask at all, something I will do when I'm done with the head.  It took me all day to paint the house, so I haven't gotten much more than this done on him.
