hi

definatley something different than working on the a real body , nice work I like the concept . on esmall thing may be you can give more importance for surface detailing as well.

howdy, i think if you kept your character consistant the whole body, this could turn out nicely. the head seems like it doesn't belong on the body and vice versa. do you get what i mean?

very nice sculpting on all of them...the female alien is looking great.....i really liked her feet!....may be u can do some skin folding or overlapping around her neck...the two other models are also looking great...u have some great skill on texturing too...!!!..

as for your human soldier character, I would suggest to use references for wrinkles. The thickness of the pants should be increased, it seems to be a bit too tight. Lastly, I would break up the symetry in the wrinkles of your french musketeer and change the way the wrinkles flow for a more believable clothings.

dhruvsm : thank you, appreciate the kind words.

Shadowscheme : thank you for stopping by, both musketeer and soldier are wip, the pants on the soldier suppose to be leather type, i agree on the symmetry tho but there will be gears on it that's why i didn't put allot of effort on it, as for the wrinkles they are taken from references image.

Pharaoh character is something i always wanted to do, i've done this over the weekend .. i created base meshs in maya, sculpted, textured and rendered in Zbrush, still wip tho.
