Eian's Redesign

Hey, you guys remember this kid? For anyone who doesn't know himor just plain out doesn't recognize him this is my Soul Eater character Eian Ellwood. (He is also my character for #ProjectShibusen)
I can't believe that it's almost been two years since I first drew little Eian. Time sure flies. ;A; If you care to see my first picture of him, click this link here! --> [link] Improvement is such a beautiful thing!
Anyways, this is my newest look for Eian, featuring a headshot of his meister Juliette Chevalier.....I don't even want to think about how many times I've redesigned this poor kid. I'm hoping that -at least for a while- this one will be staying with him. I'm happy enough with the final result, at least. xD Though, I'm always up for critics on this, the design itself please, not the bad anatomy. And I'd especially like the feedback on his weapon form; which I'm still really iffy about.

As far as his backstory goes, it's still in progress, but if you're interested here are some little tidbits that are all, if not mostly, set in stone.
Eian is blind. Literally. (And figuratively. xD)
His nationality is English; that's right, he's got a British accent. And this is especially awesome because his partner is French.
His weapon form is something of a Lance/Spear cross....I'm not entirely sure what to call it. //sobs forever
His birthday is December 3rd.....I was originally planning on having this posted then, but stuff came up so I couldn't finish on time.
Here's a link to his partner's current design. --> [link]

Anyways, sorry for the rant! Thanks for looking/reading!~
