oh man I’m a HUGE Paul Bonner fan, he’s one of my fav artists - looking forward to seeing this finished 
yes cool. I like the skin. I try a lot of skin shaders…it´s not easy! 
take a look at my curent project. maybe you can tell me what I do wrong with the skin. I use V ray…
Neat creature, I think the only small crit I have is the horn around the nostril area. I would add some more flesh where its entering the skin, it looks a bit detached. Other than that great work, you did an amazing job rendering it out. 
good interpretation, cool paint job
nice texturing and rendering ! can’t wait for the next update
everything is superd here.small_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamond
love the rendering too much
great render!
but from where did you get that blue matcap material?
I have been looking for it for 3 years
Great job my friend! It’s really impressive!
Nice job, 'll love to know just how to do that…but it’s a long way and
i’ve no time…
You finally posted it, impressive unfinished job :lol:
Thank you all for the words :D!
Magdalena : You’ re right Paul Bonner is an amazing artist!!! He’ s a real inspiration source for me. Really love his work.
I missed your Livestream demo…hope there will be other ;).
pitchepuck : Thank you Pitchepuck! I follow your thread on the action hero contest…congrats!
For the skin shader, I don’ t know how you setup it but the only thing I could say is to work with several layer of SSS to keep separated the derm infos from the subderm ones (which are bloody and veiny). That really helps to soft the lighting and to simulate the deep of the skin. Then to keep 2 layer of spec (one smooth, one sharp) and reflection.
Perhaps you already know that;), tell me if you want more precision.
Aberrant : Thanks! and you are absolutely right for the horn.
I should modify maps and model^^
Renaud Galand, arunzb : thank you very much!!
Pooop: thank you!! The matcap was post on this forum but I don’t remenber who did it…perhaps NickZ or mister Giraud…I don’t want to offend someone:D. I could post it again if there is no objection.
toinedek : Thanks my friend!!!
I think I will also post some Grey images of a turntable soon.
Cheers!
5 Stars, but why didn’t you render this with Renderman ? 
And for the final image, i’m sad you dit not use glow and depth of field.
it takes so much time to model precisely that you left behind the final nuke magica trujillo (lighter speaking) 
and 
but
Thank you Phantom²!!
About renderman…I could use it but i must admit that the misss fast skin ( thank you master Zap) is really handy to tweak. So I choose the shader rather than the full displacement solution ;).
Plus, there is depht of field man!! sharpen your eyes:D…ok it is very subtle but too much would be …too much I guess
.
I’ m not really good in using nuke so far but i will try the glow just for you man.
here are the gray images

This is looking really good with the shaders on it. Not too sure about the chin horn but it sure looks sweet.
Nice one !
damn…that last render came out of nowhere. keep it up
Leehand,
This is a really interesting character, that you have modeled very well. I like what you’ve done with the rendered image. Does this character have a back story? I also like what you have done with the metal. It looks like it was hand made and functional. Keep on doing what your doing.

Really good looking character!, Saw it earlier, still waiting for the body update.
I really like this character, it looks like he would be pretty wicked in a fight. However, the only thing I do not like is the front horn. Please correct me if I am wrong, but his front horn it looks like it is just sitting on the front of his face. If it is a horn connected to his helmet then great, but if it is suppose to be growing from him, it does not look like it. Again, if it is suppose to be connected to his helmet and not him then the look is great. Otherwise I love the character.
