The scale detail on its face is right on, but the head/neck/body transition and proportions seem a bit off, unless your friend has a very obese BRB. I feel like you captured the front half of its head really well, but the rest didn't turn out quite so nicely. That said, it's far better than what I'd produce if I tried my hand at it, so rock on.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be curious to see the original photo, presuming your friend would be ok with you posting it.
