Thanks everybody

Surfer: I added a few pit marks to the front of him

Aidan: thanks theyI will take a look at colour once I have done the textures, maybe go for that oily colour look

Matt: thanks man, they are the hardest part so far.

I might suggest a little more color, very subtle, but there, to simulate the color showing through the skin. For example, you can see the red of blood through translucent human skin, blue veins, etc. Very subtle, like I said. user added image

You can kinda see where I tried something like that in the example I posted in the rules thread.

Maybe a little more.

Oh, have you tried reversing the bump map, so the splotches are raised?

Yeah go the veins! That will really top the little critter off! Oh yeah! See if you can sneak a smiley face into the texture too. Doing stuff like that gives me a real kick ha ha!
OOOOO I know! With all those cool dots you could slip in a mickey mouse!! Ha ha! I have enclosed an example!

Anyway! Looking forward to the face!!!

hello

I reversed the bump for the splotches, I think it looks better, thanks Mike, also increased the flesh tones in the skin, I will add the mickey mouse face, thanks surfer, it a pretty neat idea having hidden elements within the texture.

Looks like a guy I went to school with :-)

Very cool so far. With bump reversed, you might want to blur the edges of the splotch shapes a little so they don't pop out so suddenly. Keep it up.
