Ack sorry mate you’re absolutely right of course and did get that good render you were after. I didn’t mean to jump the gun on you and second-guess, considering what a fantastic refinement every iteration has been so far. Apologies about the placeholder stuff and I can’t wait to see the next version whenever it hits.
Rick, this is looking more beautiful every day. All of the personality shines right through.
This portrait Reminded me of Matthew McGrory, which made me watch Big Fish again recently. Such interesting characters, with such kind souls!
The final image looks really wonderful.
Great work Rick!
The polypaint and render is amazing… I love the teeth.
thanks for posting.

HiGuys,
Thanks for the nice comments. I had a meeting canceled which changed my day so I worked on Schlitzie some more I did better eyebrows and fibermesh hairs. At least I hope they are better because they took forever,Again this is a ZBrush BPR render well I should say thirteen BPR renders or so I lost count, again composited in Photoshop.I hope you like it.
I actually did really fine light peach fuzz hairs but they were too fine as I don’t see them, oh well.
Loving the colour work in the hands. Have that translucent look without the hard to get away from waxy look.
speechless…another view another great render, would be a special gift for all of us making a tutorial but anyway your results with BPR are so amazing that push me to work more. I’ve tryed my best with the last one but still far ehehe thx again for your presence here. Regards, Daniele.
Hi Rick! Thank you so much to share your art with us, it’s just amazing 
Awesome work at all levels! Schlitzie looks alive
All details are mastered! Some details as the hand or the eyes, the skin, ears, lips, everything! incredible! so realistic! A master piece!
I’d love to have some tips to sculpt a realistic skin as you did
Perfection!
cheers, David
oh man
that hand looks ridiculous. We can see the bone underneath…damn
I still miss some volume on the mouth wrinkles, and some saliva on the teeth maybe, just to give it a more “wet” look
You nail the polypaint,btw
cheers!
Really nice, Rick!!
Really, really, really awesome! The render totally looks every bit as good as modo. The color transitions in the ears are great. On my screen I can pick up the peach fuzz layer too, it definitely reads. All those years of doing practical fx hair really shows! I love the yellowed teeth as well, and of course the expression is beautiful. One of my favs!
The hand and skin looks amazing. Very inspirational as always.
Skin looks great,especially on the hand.
Keep raising the bar Rick!
Outstanding!
Jit.
Bravo!
Really great! Shakes everything. But the most gorgeous (in my opinion) look teeth!
Wow, that’s awesome. I can also see the peach fuzz if I’m seeing what your talking about.
I’m kind of bothered by the level of red on the neck though? The skin is perfect on the face and arms. I think that’s as realistic as I’ve ever seen for the specular.
wow, damn great!! how you did that water line, like a tear on the eyes?
Hey Rick,
Great fun! Love the color version.
Textures and fibers! Sweet!
