Spaceboy, wasn’t too harsh at all, buddy!
I wasn’t really planning on coming back to him, but I had several comments about the skin, that I had to. Plus that part was an easy fix.
I don’t see the smiling part, but I did a bit more work in PS on the other areas you suggested and replaced the image above. Also added a bit more hair on the the right side (looking at him) of his face. Look better?
I really like this. I’m wondering if he needs an sss pass. Just a bit on the ear?
The lighting is really good. The hair texture is fantastic.
kraken it looks great, what i meant about the head was actually more on the left side of the image, but if it all looks okay to you that is what matters. i love it anyway.
brett, the question really lies in if kraken was intending to replicate TOS spock cause back then prosthetic ears were not translucent in any sense, so it actually looks more like spock looked as it is now. they never should’ve done that to Yoda’s ears in the new movies.(i know different series etc, in b4 star wars is better than star trek, or borg cube vs death star etc:lol:)
oh kraken what mat did you use on the badge? it really held that metallic thread look in the turntable.
Good head!
Ha, it is very recognizable who it is 
My suggestion is a bit fix skin bump under the chin, and a bit change the yellowish in the skin.
The hairs, zbrush-modelling are great!
I was going through my portfolio throwing out some old images that I didn’t think was up to par. I came to the Spock I did over a year ago and thought I would keep him, but he needed a slight update. And I’m one that can’t leave a piece of art well enough alone, even after a couple years. So after a quick hour or so in Photoshop, here’s an update for Spock so he will still have a place in my portfolio.
Now all of a sudden, I have an urge to add Kirk in as well…
I`m a huge fan and this is …Wow…fabolous! No critique needed here.

You should do all of them.

Hey man !
I don’t know how i could jump over this thread. i’m thinking to do a portrait of Mr.Spock for a mount or more, just didn’t have the time , and now i see this one.
Nice job ! I’m glad to see that the the good old Spock hasn’t been forgotten.
And for a little crit you must check a little the face proportions, it seams to me that in the reference image you used the face is a little longer and the eyes smaller.
Good luck with Kirk! i’m anxious to see him in the gallery.
Cheers !
You’re right, Andrei. And of course, I can’t leave it well enough alone, so I went back and did a bit of facial correction using the liquify filter in Photoshop. (I ain’t goin’ back to re-sculpt and re-render everything).
I promise this is the last update on this guy.

Always did like this render. Much better with the toned down skin. Looks great Kraken.
