Awesome, every detail adds to the piece without seeming too crowded or saturated.
thanks! heh, it's always those little things, right? :] it's a curse of polishing.
oh, yeah, that guy... he's decent, but not that much!
I also enjoy the WIP animation, which I must have missed the first time I saw this. Amazing the difference that a lip highlight and some dithered shadow on the nose makes in the end. A crime this didn't take 2nd place (though the guy who did come in 2nd was pretty good too, you gotta admit)
thanks! originally i planned something a bit different, but it didn't work :]
The wip animation is great too, the foundation is really solid and it's interesting to see it evolve, given the fact that he could go many directions. Really interesting work!
@jok: thank you! i will probably tweak it after the challenge... i'm not fully satisfied with the values
Great texture work! I like the sutble creases around the eyes and nose!
thanks! i was trying to get close to textures in shm31's works, but i kinda failed :]
thanks! :]
