That looks beautiful (even if it is a bit of a roughed up bloke!). I love the detail in the model and texture to the face. Great work, really inspirational user added image

yeah very good stuff.. I like really a lot. spec is to high at first but some bump or displacment will brake that up a lot I'm guessing.

holy moly!

head looks great! what I find very cool about it is the uneven topology of the face. this creates personality. nose- and mouthpart is awsome, only the eyes look little different. kind of empty or peering. but maybe this is supposed to be this way when U want to animate it. allthough I wouldn´t know it myself I guess the skinn shading could need some work.

thanx for the comments.
this mesh was sculpted in ZB and i wanted to use it as a disp map... but its not a good idea to use disp maps for such simple geometry like human face [unless u have time to render micro disp in MR user added image

]
so i exported a subdiv lvl 3 to maya , about 10k polys and also exported the base mesh for rigging.

Hey Vlad

Hows it going? did you get my reply at Outlaws about the creature?

Heads looking good, is that true that Zbrush loops the stuff 4 you?

hey J
yea i saw your reply.

ZB has no topology control what so ever,
you need to build a base mesh in a modeling app, and UV it there too. like i did for this head.
otherwise u'll get some funky UV's and if u build a mesh out of "zspheres" its almost not workable in an animation package.

Actually you could build the base mesh in ZBrush too, with ZSpheres and then tweak the vertices manually. It also has some tools for edge loops and stuff. I think it's easier than in Maya to move around serveral vertices at once.

Oh yeah!! Wouldn't want to meet this guy in a dark back alley. Coming along great vlad. Love the details and I really think he's got a lot of personality now. The cig is a nice touch
and like Pony pointed out he's a little reflective / high spec, but that's easy fix, and I do realize it's not final.

Chin area, nose and mouth is really really cool. 4 stars moving to 5 once it's final user added image

yea alpha, it was just to test ibl lighting, i think thats why it was a little over saturated.

but i kinda wanted a glossy "look" to him.

Thats amaizing

Just ine crit. I think the Hat and jacket could be a little more dirty. I think there actual textures might stand out too much and some dirt and worn marks could really help that out. Awesome render though
