Hello there

I have had my facial hair for over a year now and I've changed it over that time. I started out with a narrow chin strap but now my 'beard' is covering more skin then before. 

Well, that first pic doesn't show much since it's so dark, but the pic that shows the underside down your neck shows promise.  If you can send a pic that shows your face, but is a bit lighter.  As for your "beard crush" of course it may be possible, but you'll need a good deal more coverage.  The advice often given here is that you should consider growing for at least two months and three months often works even better.
