Hey guys !!
Here’s the first image of my Demo Reel. It’s a macro like photo of a praying mantis.
I modeled and painted on Zbrush, then finalized it on XSI, where I made the lighting and shaders. Post production on photoshop.
Hope you guys like it! Feel free to critique or comment! Thank you!

My favorite Bug!, i love it! beautiful render and shader textures sculpt, 50 kilos of stars!!!
Looks like real ! congrats
I am in awe, but the one eye is bothering me, its a quick fix. Although it may be intentional for purposes that I am unaware of. Otherwise I am extremely envious of your expertise.

Excellent!
Yeah, looks like a great render.
But both eyes pupils look incomplete and pixelated. They need a bit of work before this can be considered done IMO.
That is totally gorgeous, well done. Has great character and love the portraiture composition.
The only thing that bugs me (no pun intented!) is that it looks a bit too much symmetric. Breaking up the mirrored texture and forms would do wonders. Praying mantis has eyes similar to a ex. common fly so they need to look “pixelated”. Anyway… great work!
Great work, just fix the eyes…
Perfect!
the skin should be abit translucent. the eye can be improved like others have said. Other than those little things… this is a great piece of work, awesome.
Nice work! excellent!! Perfect texture!
my god :eek: !!!
Great job, I like it. Not completely photoreal, but just as an image it’s fantastic! Love all the little details.
great job man!
Love the color variations.
Wow great work love the material / render
