OMG this is so amazing!No, fuck me! This is insanity! Bro the volume you have and the marvellous textures.. my my.. I am drooling. I have to study this. I have no words! How long did it take you to complete this?
Just the head lol. At some point I may do the body but i don't know. losing the original file put a damper on my drive to make more of it. :/
Aw what. that's lame that your computer "borked." But I'm glad you managed to salvage this.
Quick question, when you say you did the rest, does that mean you also did the full body or just the rest of the head?
@Mandrill
Thanks for the kind words! And yeah for the palette I tried to stick to only using the colors seen in the sprite it was based on, so the highlights are a bit more muted than I guess they could have been.
The skin texture is out of this world! Absolutely fantastic. 
One tiny nitpick though.The eyes are a bit too bright for the speculars to take effect... oh and this deserves a better preview!
Thanks everybody!

I did the rest but I recently had my computer bork. I managed to recover this from the video it was for but I couldn't find the original. If I can I'll for sure change it to that though.
That skin texture. I can actually feel it in my mind. Thanks for sharing.
About... a month and a half of off and on work I think? It was part of my entry to a big contest over at the Terraria Community Forums.
