Coming along nicely!

Some crits: The eyes don't look very 3d, or real (though changing them could really make the rendering go a lot slower). The hair around the ear needs a little work, though it won't be noticed in animation.

All in all...excellent!

Great to see new work from you @ndy, and what a great work it is! The hair came out very well, and the character is superb.

The master returns to remind us all how it's really done

Can't wait to see your bc art festival stuff.

Take care @ndy and keep on Blending, you inspire us all,

RobertT

That sure is some cool down pic. Really nice job. The nose and lips are very good. The eyebrows also are very high quality. I cant wait to see your next work I am sure it will be great as always.

Hey, people, has anyone seen my jaws? I seem to have lost them somewhere.

So, this is the missing link then, thanx for showing us !
(According to the theory that aliens come from the future, and they actualy are evolved from humans, this image pictures a specie somewhere in between )

My hats off for you; what is that like 100 top quality images you've pumped out?

Excelent use of lighting to put up a mood man.

A couple smalll crits though. His beard is a diffrent colour then his eyebrows and hair. Also dont you think that if he did have a beard that he would have a little bit of fuzz on his cheeks? not very much but like the tinyest trace amount. I mean unless he's got a super duper laser shaver (which is cool) he's not going to be baby skin smooth.

the reflection in his eye, seems really weird; look at the bottom right of the eye closest to us, it seems to be reflecting a light infront of him but the light that shines on him comes from the side.
thats about it..
Great job.

How did you create the hair? Was it the fiber generator or the beast or something else?
