Hi,
Here is my latest work. Everything made in blender, some very little post pro in gimp.
I must say parts of the beard are absolutely amazing.
Great use of the particle system there, nice bushy beard:)
Look great, really nice modelling - especially the eyes and around the eyes. Thumbs up.
That is simply AWESOME!!! 5 stars from me!
And could you please write a tutorial on that skin texture???
wow, good job. The skin is excellent. However, the hair on the beard looks a bit unnatural - kind of speckly/blending together near the mouth. Also could you tell me how to change straight hair to curly hair, like the eyebrows?
Is it just me or does that chain mail look a little flat? You might want to apply that texture to normal as a bumb map as well as colour.
Awesome hair and skin!
Nice skin. The hair could blended into the skin a little better-- keep what’s there but especially around the mouth and the cheeks, maybe a little more short hair could be added. The chain mail could do with some normal mapping, definitely. And the helmet material could be adjusted some. It looks a bit too much like plastic, it needs a little more specularity and reflection.
I think that everything is wonderfull, and everything but the armor is perfect. The only defect I see is that the mail armor look flat. You should probably have applied the texture on normals.
Love the beard.
AND the expression on his face.
P
Maybe a somewhat better texture for his chainmail like thing… It looks a bit plastic.
that is a really nice beard especiall under his mouth and on the side of it.
the eyebrows are good too the only bad thing would be highest par tof the beard where it joins the haire, but it is still realy good.
too bad the texture of his cloth looks really fat
I love the beard and skin. Maybe the helmet should to be more reflective, but I think it matches the style of the rest of the render nicely.
As for the mail, it looks flat, like cardboard. Some displacment might fix the problem, but then this is a finished project, after all.
Overall I say that it looks fantastic. The lighting in the beard and the detailed skin texture deserve high marks.
grzybu, I realize a .blend file with the whole setup in it might be too much to ask, but do you think you could share a .blend with your lighting setup and the beard applied to a sphere so that we can learn from your settings?
[Edit: for clarity]
His chainmail needs a proper bump map, now it looks like he has a cloth shirt on whit chain texture on it.
Very nice use of particle hair, I love the eyebrows and his beard. I alos like the skin texture a lot.
He has this look on his face that says “I just scored with a blonde elf girl”.
