@Kravit: of course your model is being setup for more than one pose. From the looks of it this one is sculpted for this pose specifically.
awwwwwwwwwwww! would love to see the zbrush model. its just amazing:D
OUTSTANDING!!!Please show us your shader network in 3dsmax mentalray in full detail this is stunning 
Wow! Cool realism. Grrreat!!
Amazing render, sir!! There could be more fine-detail on the face. 
Can we please see it without the texture, just a gray shader?
That looks better than an airbrushed photograph.
You really did a great job! I hate the subject, but that’s why I like it so much 
Their heads alwys look like from another body, and you accomplished that as well. Ace
when i first saw the thumbnail I figured it was someone posting a reference photo on a wip they were starting… that is great work see you on the top row by the end of the day if wires and such get put up awesome work rely
Wow, great work, very realistic
Holyyy damn! woooow, no way!, really this is a render?, noooooo!, i dont think so!, BROTHER THIS IS OUTSTANDING!, one of the most realistic 3D renders that i ve ever seen!, Guys!!, this needs to be in Topp Roow!.
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing some Wip shots !
i quit using zbrush if this model doesnt appear on the top row!
Gorgeus Work.
ummm i can barely beleive this is cg. can we see wire/breakdown please
Yeah the cgportfolio is proof enough. Great work!
All i mean about photo sourcing textures is that i can tell he used to source his textures from the one image.
hey that’s really nice! Great attention to details. I recognise him, it’s Markus Rhul and I found your ref so I post it beside your render.
His left hand is too small.
Can we see a modeling shot without the texture? And for the texture, you use the pic and mapped it on him, it’s why it look a little like a hairbrush or something, but, it’s great work anyway 
The face is a bit off, especially they eyes, but it’s not easy to match perfectly, I know. so great work!

The hilights are different from the photo reference. Man, this is one of the most photorealistic bodybuilder shots I’ve seen. You can nit-pick it when you know it’s 3D, but if someone showed it to you as a photo I think even most experienced artists would say “nah, you’re showing me a 3D render”.
I am really curious to see how the model looks like and if the skin was merely photomapped. It doesn’t look like it was photomapped though, because like I said the hilights aren’t exactly in the same place. That could be geometry distortion or PS work…
I really need to see a break down of this image, but I’ll give you the benefit of a doubt and say: freaking amazing work!
