Yeah I have to say also, this is some fantastic work, keep it up man 
Sorry X14Halo, I didn’t see this until now. I did paint a stippled greyscale texture which I used as an overlay layer on the color texture in the node editor. Just like the effect of using the overlay filter in Photoshop, it had the same effect on the texure.
Good catch! I’m glad you brought it up. It’s a cool trick to add subtleties to the texture and worth mentioning.
This final version is , dare I say it?, perfect! 
And thanks very much for the process insights.

Hi,
I have a job on the go.
Want to sell your model? Does your model come with bones so I’d be able to manipulate different poses and animate?
Cheers

Just wondering if you could explain how you did the grass in the composition? Are you using Maya paint effects or what?
Thanks!
Hey, skdzines, the grass was a Plugin for Lightwave called Saslite (a free version of the more feature rich plugin called Sasquatch). The newest versions of Lightwave 9.6 now have FiberFX which will work well for grass and hair.
