Ok finally started some test passes on this guy. Oh and not to forget the basic texture work has been started. Itās all pretty simple at the moment, the texturing. Also I know I still have work to do on the render it really needs work in certain areas and there is no sss on yetā¦ so be kind 
Anyway anyone with some advice I would be very grateful.
OH and the hair will NOT be sculpted in the end. It will be hair done in maya.
Cool work, dude 
Hi scottleroc, thank you so much for the nice comments on my scketchbook.
You know, Iāve been following this thread from day one. I think youāve got some great sculptinā goinā on here!
To bad I canāt give you any advice on the sculpts: to new at Zbrush, didnāt do any polypainting yetā¦ .
See yaā! !

Etcher - I have to say that is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever written to me over the internet.
After working really hard to prepare this latest piece and not hearing anything from anyone I was pretty much ready to give up with this sketchbook. After your message I now know that at least one person is interested in my progress.
You donāt know how much you have helped me with your comment. Many thanks.
If you ever need any advice please just ask and I will try and help 
finally getting somewhere with the style I am looking for
Much nicer and moodier than before. The skin was far to reflective before and I flipped it.
Ok so the key light is set now for the sidelight and backlight, although I kinda like the high contrast single key light.
Just need to get the ārealā hair in
Am I glad I posted that reply this morningā¦ . I think that, when posting at ZBrush Central, we really need to take some things in stride: the community has over 140.000 members. So many talented artists, so many beautiful and interesting works on display, it is hard to keep up with the constant flow of new posts and updates. I think itās nearly impossible to post replies to all those threads. Just look at how many views some threads generate- as opposed to how few replies they getā¦ that should tell us something (for me, itās easy and fast to view images, writing is something else: I need to translate from Dutch to English first and, on top of that Iām a slow typistā¦).
So, keep posting cause people are viewing and appreciating your works, but they share our same problem: thereās only 24 hours in a dayā¦!
The update you posted is looking better. I think that the hair update will enhance it further. In my opinion, the forehead is a bit to smooth right now, lacking some fine pore and wrinkle texture, and the glasses would best be modeled with hard edges in your external modeler (they look a bit to rubbery now)
See ya ! !

well said etcher ā¦
i agreeā¦
nice work ā¦
i would like to see a little more saturation for the colours in the textureā¦
would give the render a little more depth
keep it going
Been really busy recently.
Totally reshaped this guys head and roughed out his clothes
hope you like this wip screen
The last one looks a lot better, I like it
Nice work. He looks like Raul Castro at the last image.
Hi Scott! Awesome update man - I was waiting for this for some time! Love the hairs, love the cap! Glasses look great too! Like I said man: keep goinā - seeing improvements like this brings a smile to my face !
Santis - thanks man
Sonceng - you are so right although I didnāt base it on Raul Castro
Etcher - you know you are just an all round nice person. If it wasnāt for you I would have given up posting on here. So I thank you very very much for your support. I have also recently been through you (HUGE) thread and I see some very nice work coming on there. Looks to me like a top shelf is just round the corner for you.
You also have the painted version of the freedom to teach model. I have the unpainted one, so jealous
Good Sculpt ! liked the detailing on face.
just one query, what technique you use , to get single hair strand for Hairs and bushy eyebrow.
wow. that hair looks greatā¦ ĀæHow did you do it??? :eek:
KishKish & ISK - curve nurbs in Maya, lots of them. The converted to polys and imported into ZB. Hair is a pain. I have read so many tutorials but sort of perfected my own way. The good thing about having hair as polys in Zb is the abilty to style them using the move tool.
I tried many other methods in maya, including dynamics but I settled on this approach. Thank you for you nice comments and I hope that helps
I have just started tweaking the hi detail mesh now and I have started on the polypainting. Hope you like.
Scott, yesterday you put a smile on my face. But today, man, you but a big smile on my face!!! The polypaint is so well done!!! Even though you are striving to finish this sculpt, you should take a moment to enjoy the satisfaction of having made such progress. In the next few weeks, you should walk around with a smile on your face! ! So, keep goinā! 
.
Thanks for sharing your hair technique.
Poly paint is looking really neat, eagerly looking forward with skin shader.
smells like top row work hereā¦
