I think he's off to a great start, Aether. This looks really nice so far.
If you're going for more of a Polynesian look, can I recommend working the epicanthic folds a little bit more on his eyes? I know this is an early render, so if you're already back to working on his morphs, feel free to ignore my comment.
I really do like how he's starting off, though. Nice work on the tattoo also!
