    Hi all, I'm posting my latest work here. Base mesh modelled in max, detailed in zbrush, and then retouched in photoshop. Post production and colour correction also done in photoshop. My main aim was to get close to al pacino in "two for the money", keeping it not too photoreal. Please feel free to leave in your comments. I'll post WIP images later.

    Excellent and inspiring work. Why not go photoreal? Your pretty much there! However, now it has a very nice oil painted feel. The hair and eyebrows feel a bit too 'photoshoppy' though. Yeah, that doesn't make sense, ah well.

    Pacino is looking a wee bit overweight.

    Al needs to stay off the pizza. I recognized who it was instantly. A little liposuction and you've nailed him.

    I think you have achieved your goal, not photo real, but it's definitely Al, I didn't even have to read who it was...

    Would agree he needs to lose a few pounds though...

    Thanx for the overwhelming replies guys.I started off with a younger pacino, approximately when he was young like in scarface. Later on when I kept working, he kept getting older, and I ended up making him look like he currently is. While this transformation took place, I failed to notice that his eyes had changed considerably as he became older.And the biggest problem was exporting displacement and normal maps from zbrush and getting the sss shaders to work in max. I lost quite a bit on that. so, not entirely satisfied with my 3d render, I decided to make a 2d paint over on it. There's not too much paintover, but the minor details have been enhanced, and the image has been colour corrected. Here are some wires. Thats the reason for his face becoming a lil fatter I guess. I'll try to make some corrections and post updates in the next post

    Hi everyone..Heres an update on the previous image. I've given it some perspective, made the suit bigger, softened the shadows, and improved the overall tone. I like this new work better and I think it's become more close to AL. Please send in your comments
