Sweet, thanks for the suggestion. Ive never really messed around with the material settings…I should have a long time ago! So much more you can add to a model with the right material 
The material applied to the model now is almost exactly what you suggested. Id say it looks alot more sand/worm-esk. I hate discoveries late at night, now all I want to do is work on it more instead of going to sleep :mad: haha.
A much needed update haha. I havent worked on this project in a while so I figured starting a new portion would be a good thing. Need to get the fire re-lit on this! :evil:
Kinda felt too lazy to make a zsphere body and I didnt want to have to mess around with porportions so Im using the AverageMale model off the Z website. Currently Im just sculpting the desert suit with the water pouches and such. Next Ill add more of a Children of Dune twist on it; with a small mouth respirator, head suit and a flowing cloak
Bit of an update on my Fremmin character. Almost ready to paint him, just need some more details in areas. Decided to leave a repirator out and only use the face rappings. C&C welcome!
Wow that looks good.
I would give him some distinction around the eyes since that is all we see. A scar or just some really stylized eye brows would be nice to see.
On his suit, did you use a lot of masking and deformation options in the tool palette?
Nice… I look forward to seeing that painted up.
