Thanks Giri_Babu.
A quick study via pp so to understand what I have to do.
The machinist, its what this man was doing in his life.
Its a zb preview, background using 3DC and blender. Starting the shirt now, no eyes or hair and sss (these in blender).

fantastic job Michalis, full of character! small_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamond

[michalis]

Thank you RawSunlight. Still working on the face though, lot of issues… I feel too old for this kind of modeling :lol: A simple sculpture is what I like most.

[HiPi]

Delightful as always!!! especially the fisherman in “semi marble semi skin” render. Is so convincing … feel like I know this man from somewhere

[michalis]

Its you again hipi, thanks man. You better not know him. I can’t talk much about it in this forum. :lol:

Very nice render , although the specular part on his forehead seemed to jump out at me.

[hyper1]

I’m continuously impressed by blender. Its really matured over the last couple of years. Your image is good and your modeling is wonderful. I do agree that the specular high lights could be dialed back a little.
Great job, and looking forward to more of your work,
Gary

[michalis]

I also agree about specularity, meanwhile an new blender 2.5.3 here so some GI and more sss. No pp this time, lust levels and small glow.
Thanks soul and hyper
Update: added some pp (overlay) in a slightly different render (lenses less wide) because it was distorting what I had in mind. I hope this is OK.

[hyper1]

Well, you’ve cured the problems I saw and if this isn’t top row, it certainly could be. Of course there are artists on this forum who farrrr exceed me, and I do wish that they could give some feedback as well.
Very well done!

A very nice portrait, love the expression! And the hair is just fantastic!

I did notice that you lost some contrast in the shadow areas and places like where the lips meet and the nasolabial fold. The lips blend together a bit too much there and you can’t tell where they do meet.

But great work!

[michalis]

Thanks

Right KrakenCMT, I fixed it, damn sss. :lol:

I really like that facial expression. There is something honest about it (for a lack of better term); He seams “real” to me because of that. Well done.

[michalis]

Thanks Beneto,
Here’s an alternative render.
