I'll get a better set up in the next update - the planes on your lights, are they incandescence mapped?
cheers,

Ye iv learned that setting up a good light from start helps you improve your sss shaders, or even on any other project.
I now it sound like a last job to do, but it helps me in improving the textures. after the lights are in place, also setting up a rendercam is a key feature of your scene, unless your making a tpose model.

Got a couple more images here, been tweaking again in the last hour or so, I think they're getting better - moved them further back in the head, closer together, but I'm still not too happy with the shape. Look ok in one view, but the 3/4 doesn't convince.]#
Again, feedback appreciated.
thanks,
gubar

Need to work on the sss, but for now I'm still tweaking the eyes. They are getting there but still don't look right.
Crits and comments please,
thanks,

Don't like it to be honest. It's poly planes, textured with an alpha.
Any advice on how to improve would be welcome, though at the moment I think he's probably just gonna stay bald.
cheers,

If you want to do hair you should probably grab some tutorials on creating maya hair, it looks a lot better then most flat textures, unless you are restricted to a poly count.
The lips are killing the image for me though. too much like a blow up doll or something, it dulls the expression and the mood created by the so far very nice texture.
Keep up the good work!
Peace, love and Anarchy~~~~~~~
