Haha you're bad :p . I'm also curious about those bumps across his foreheadOriginally posted by ctbram
Since his nose is on his forehead maybe his chin is where his testicles reside. Kinda like Peter Griffin from the family guy.

distrubing chin requires a disturbing comment
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

I was interested because ive been reading more recently about the zbrush/maya workflow. I got given a zbrush book for christmas which has a section on the pros and cons of working from a low-res/high-res mesh in zbrush. How some people prefer the 'arty' way of doing most work in zbrush on a low res mesh, and how other people who are more confident with hard-surface modelling prefer to work further in maya or whatever 3d package before going to z.
Also i guess it makes for a smoother process if you are going to create a normal or displacement map. Without going even further into it and getting into retopology and everything, I just wondered what your views were, if any of these factors have been in your considerations...
For what I know it looks nice, i think the effort you have put in in Maya first has given a really solid foundation.
