Sweet ! Looking good dude ! I agree with UNDOZ though , needs a little glisten and the texture seems a little high in places like the arms. Great stuff though !

One of my favourite characters in Hellboy. Nice textures and a great model.

Webhead, mkk316, Kupo, metric, lucao, villafane, piz, Eonsuu: Thanks a lot for the kind words guys, really appreciated.

Goldenry : Thanks man, about the render; there is nothing complicated about it. Just create a plane ground which bends up behind the model. Set you render engine to MentalRay, Then place 2 Area Photometric Lights ( 1 key light and 1 back Light ) check the Shadows type to raytrace and exlude the Plane from the BackLight , HIt Render . Then you can render an Ambiant Occlusion Pass to enhanced the render in photoshop.

undoz, SIWEB ; you're right guys, the skin should be glossy, wet etc.. but i'm not gonna play now with the shader, because like i said i'm going to do a in-game version and so i have to put my effort and my time on that. But be sure that at the end, i'll try to make a good render of the Hi-res model .

Another awesome piece - very cool !
you nailed that 'Baker' hair technique too. I think it's great that you got the skin texture at a realistic level , not overdone like so many are ! The fattening suits the character.

hey SIWEB, thanks a lot for checking my works man, glad you like it.

Here is an update, i finished the lowpoly , i have to optimize it slightly 'cause now it's around 7500 tris and the limit for the challenge is 7000tris. Anyway, i baked the diffuse and the normal map. I still have to bake a AO map and then create the Spec map and rework the diffuse and the normal map.
