Scary! But very well done!

Just one thing is there should be a shadow on the mushroom that fallow the shape of the crack, right now it feels pastes in photoshop.

Thanks guys

Sebcesior, to add a shaddow on the eye was one of my blocks in the challenge. It’s something i did try but it killed the surreal look that i was after, soft against sharp, pure geometry against noisy geometry, for some reason i wanted the eye to be a clean sphere, if you know what i mean, adding a shaddow broke that. Looking back i think you are right, but you live and learn.

heres an update on the head, added spec maps, adjusted sss etc. This guys will have long hair and a big beard eventually so i haven’t worked on the chin or neck area much. It looks a bit flat in that area to give me the best shot of adding hair strands without them flying off in all directions.

Here’s an update on the skin shader and better lighting, still got to make adjustments to the maps.

That looks really nice. Are you creating the skin shader yourself?

Here’s my final post on this guy, i know the model isn’t that great but it’s been and experiment for an xsi zbrush workflow. Now i know what i’m doing i’ll spend some time on a proper sculpt.

Thanks Lemo

I haven’t done a bump, spec or even a proper color map yet, i just like to slap on a rough color map and sss to get a feel for things.
