LOL, don't think we'll be needing any duck tape user added image

I just wanted to avoid a particular seam where the arm meets the body, but without hacking up the torso there's no other way I can do that (sounds nasty I know). So I guess I'll just paint it in as best as I can. Might post a pic of the map later.

View of the body as it's coming along. Only just started the texturing, some way to go yet. Take all the help I can get as usual, thanks guys!

Figure I can get around those seams ok, just need a bit more practice at it. The seams around the chest and neck are the worst at the moment, but I haven't had a go at fixing that just yet.

Hey, im loving this... but check out this picture here on the pecks.. I think they could be a bit more defined.

I think you should influence the collar bone more so you can see it on his skinny frame. Then i think you should run a slight line through the upper/lower peck area.. kinda distinguishing it. Im not sure about that though, hes not exactly bulk. I also think though for sure that you should run some "stretching" look to his pecks.. i'll show a couple pictures of what i mean user added image

.

Pectorals

Just some ideas though, not saying you have to do any of that.. i love how its coming along though, wonderful job! Great detail as well :thumbsup:

Thanks for checking out my site (sadly neglected for a while now, must fix it) and glad you enjoyed the paintings. Been quite a while since I recieved much comment on them. I used to hold exhibtions but haven't for about three years now and I do miss that. Must pick up my old brush again one day!

Thanks again user added image

Bloody ell! thats a spiffing job ol bean! my only crit is that the skin is a lil to pink, I always think that adding a lil blue and green adds a little more life likeness to skin, also maybe you want to add some more blemishes to the forhead. the ears could be slightly pinker to and perhaps also on the model itself the eyes seem a lil to far back in the socket adding some more creases under the eys may be good as well. But its a splendid job, oh and will he be getting hair user added image

Oh also looking at the films model I noticed the ears are a lil squarer at the bottom.

Just got back from work where I was before, the skin looks better on this monitor user added image

but I think it could do with being a lil duller.

I am not worthy!

I'd agree it's very healthy looking skin, which is good if that is what you are after but I am not sure. I really like those subtle veins and touches, lovely.

Thanks for the tips Witchy and Ra1Der! Very much appreciated.

Had a couple of minor problems that managed to sidetrack me somewhat. Back to painting tonight so I'll be trying to impliment more definition to the skin. It's such a fine balencing act with the colour and so easy to get lost in minor details, so probably for the best that I had a night off from it. Your suggestions really have and do help greatly!

Oh and he will have hair, just started preparing it, but wont go into fully untill I'm happy with the textures.

Thanks again user added image

Nice. I was thinking the green cast is great but over all I think he has more of a pasty look. The green really only comes out in the middle towns.. humm... wandering how you could do that.. I'm sure it could be done.. but.. maybe more of the green in the spec map ?
