I only hope you are going SSS with it once you textured it all. 
It’s gonna look crazy good!
Great progress ,color choice si great too!
Fantastic choice of colors. The model is looking better and better.
koyima, nellement, modeller2526: thanks guys, glad you like it !
Giantsun : yeah maybe i will try a sss shader on the hipoly version but i’m going to make a in-game model actually. thanks for you comments 
update:
i finished the first texturing pass. Now i’m going to start on the lowpoly . I will work on the textures again at the end , when i will have the color, normal and ambiant occlusion maps baked .
(some of the colors (such as the button) are just there as an indication for the baked map.)

Hi ncollings,
I was one of the two make up artists that made up Doug Jones as abe on the hellboy movies and I realy like your model. If it were mine I might pinch the nostrils down a bit and feather the stripes a little but that’s just me !! Great work ,I love the vest.

best crit SIWEB, if you think it’s cool, i think he nailed it.
maybe one thing i would try and change is the ribs and specifically
the pattern on the ribs.
nice work on the leather btw. i also totally dig his anatomy
and the work on the clothing.
i also think it would be interesting to test a shark effect (back dark/belly light) on him.
but it’s great like this
SIWEB: hi man, thank you very much for posting your thought about the model :). I’m gonna fix those 2 things you mention. 
koyima : thanks dude for your comment too 
Hey ,it’s your version of abe , theres no need to mess with it because of something I said . In the movie the nostrils are smaller which I think makes him look more ‘alien’ ! I like how you’ve moved the calf fins to the side - interesting !
-SIWEB
SIWEB : héhé, yeah sure 
Giantsun : here is a little test render of the head with sss shader. just for you .
nice I thought he doesn’t have ears sticking out?!
hey, nice work on the abe really good job.
hey magda, in the movie you’re right no ears but actually in the comicbook he does have the tiny ears sticking out
skylngtr22, thanks man.
ncollings, it looks fantastic. Thanks man. 
wow man, top row my from me for sure. great work!
wow ,great work!!
Alex Oliver
fantastic work man, restecp…
hey nic awsome abe sapien, post more soooon.
Also would love to get some feedback from you on my sketchbook 
Thanks everybody for your comments. I’m glad that you like it so far. I’m still working on the lowpoly, but i finished to import everything back in 3dsmax so i did a little test render just for fun The lowpoly is coming …
This looks so badass already…lol…your “little tests” are top notch.small_orange_diamond
(+…and one extra alien thumbs up)
I’ve always been really curious how you and others achieve this studio type effect for your renders. It’s that floor he’s on that seems to fade into the background, plus the lighting.
Can you give insights to how you set this up? Also, is this Mental Ray?
