Hi this is my first post here. I have gotten a chance to start work texturing an old model I have of the clown leader from the movie akira. Mainly all I’ve been using zbrush is to paint the textures mainly the bump right now using the bump material viewer shader. C&C is welcomed and appreciated!

He needs to go to the dentist :lol: nice detail though
SanAndreas He could use a good dentist to help out, I can only imagine how bad his breath stinks LOL. But I figured he is a bad MoFo to busy beating people up to brush his teeth.
again thanks Will, for the fix.
nice. akira fan. looking forward to see this completed.
Hey 1stbrother, good to see akira fans. Akira is one of my Fav old school animes always wanted to see the characters done in 3d.
Here is update on the teeth texture. I might still add some more stuff on the teeth still look to clean to me.
Hey buddy!
You using that DT3d skin shader of yours on this?
Nice teeth.
How about trying a little hi-rez displacement on the head?
Works really well with the maya-mentalray shaders you’ve written.
Keep updating…

Nice one.
McFarlane Toys did a model of Joker in their “Animation from Japan series 2” set. Might be a handy reference.
Hey Hey Joe, how you been man? Yea using the dt3d skin shader on this. I wasn’t gonna do any displacement on the head, but the more I look at it the better it will look if I just take it into zbrush and add some.
Jackablade I’ve got that toy its been of great help in making this. 
Here is an update on some color of the eyeball texture.
Here is a render test I did.
very cool so far.
Thx’s 1stbrother, Still got more to do with it. So hopefully it will look tons better when Iam done.
Was getting some practice in before I try adding some detail to the clown head. Just a quick mouth sculpt about 1hr of work.
Here is some practice test I did on the mouth model to test out how and what I need to achieve fairly realistic skin for dark skin tone. I figured that about 6 maps is good enough. Its very hard to do darker skin tones compared to lighter ones were you can play with reds and greens to bring out the skin.
excellent lips 
only Mic Jagger has better!
thanks for shareing your method
Stunning lips Miguel. I’m psyched, wow, this test is looking superb man!
Testing testing, that’s what it’s about… keeping up your chops.
Do you have other specific facial feature tests too. Lovin it!
