yeah - definitely agree about the eyes and also the forehead is looking a bit too sloped - I think you need more of a ridge above the brows.

Good work though mate! user added image

Thanks for the crits, guys!

Did some work on the forehead and the eyes, think it looks a bit better now.

Started to play around with a bump map. It's not finished so I know it isn't perfect...just showing some progress.

well i guess from a personal preference i can understand the wrinkles around the horns, the eyes, and the forehead area, but on the cheeks and nose it looks a little odd... again just a personal opinion. maybe it just looks too pronounced *shrug*

Hey nice model. Just did a quick liquify in PS just to show how you could possibly improve the geometry a bit to make him look a little more natural. Dont think that would have any effects on the bump map either so your safe to mess around user added image

In any case thats my 2 cents

hehe nice going with liquify, I like it. I'll see If I bother do change the geometry, you'll have to stop sometimes otherwise you'll never finish.

Anyway, here's a more realistic render with the same bump map.

Just some minor changes to the bump. And added eye textures.

Just a solid color now. Gonna start with the color map next.

Pretty sweet. But, I'd say he has a 'leather' like look to him. Why not try a reddish skin? Seems cliche, I know, but I think it'd look awesome with his skin texture.

Hey DJ good going on the textures so far, really coming along.

Should have posted this earlier but I think that the ears should blend into the head more as the top appears to stick out a bit.
