metamesh: Thanks for that break down, that is really cool of you and very very helpful. 
great work!
good stuff Alex, this is a great model and nice workflow too!
Very cool. Thanks for this break down. I love your lighting. I watched your showreel over and over back in the day :o
nice stuff
metamesh - one question - when you export your displacement are you using these settings?
Adaptive, 3 Channel, 32 bit, Flip V
hosch, I use adaptive, smooth UV, and that´s it.
I don´t use 32 bits, i use 16bits, in this way i can open the files in photoshop and paint on the seams etc. I don´t use 3 channels, they are just greyscale, and u can use the flipV or flip it vertically in photoshop, doesnt really matter
that’s very nice work also great anatomy and sculpting/modeling
really inspiring…
I’ve been following bodybuilding for years now and i recognize bodybuilders from simply looking at their bodyparts and it looks like you used Arnold as a refference for his torso… same chest and abdominal genetics.
cool stuff mate, definitely he has Arnold’s chest.
btw its not a noble school for young ladies here no need to hide his **** as in some hentai porn.
It’s a shame you decided to hide his *****. That ruins the entire presentation. It’s just as natural as a shoulder. Adding it actually made the piece more complete imo. Oh, well. You can always keep it uncensored on your site if you want to though. I went to Louvre recently and all the sculptures had them on. What would we be looking at today in Louvre if the sculptors decided to chop off the ***** or throw paint on the breasts when they carved the stunning pieces they did back in the days? I understand you have to follow the rules of the forum, so I’m not attacking you in any way 
Fantastic sculpt! I love the vray render and It think the subtle bloom adds to the final render.
Quick question: When you baked your disp maps in zbrush, how did you know what intensity to apply to the model inside of 3ds max?
Thanks!
WOW…Skin bumps r too real…3 cheers
totally wicked! The legs are brilliant and very believable
dropped to my inspiration folder
Excellent sculpt! Very powerful, solid looking model. It works very well on it’s own but I think it’d be cool to see this in a finished piece of artwork. 
Hey Alex,
Great model, as always! You have a recognizable style about your work that sets you apart from other artists, and the rendering shows off the sculpture nicely.
Post more often! I know you’ve got more works to show
Great work on this guy! Very natural looking details.
Amazing work, great model and concept design!small_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamond
Always impressive when someone can capture a lot of charisma and expression in a somewhat simple character. And the subtle anatomical details
are awesome.The render really helps bring it out.
Great work and beautiful model.
Turned out it got a nice beauty sleep on your hard drive
dang… That’s way out of line!
