man the ears are to extrudet from the head but the little guys rocks :applause:

[lordmachuca]

nice, i think you texture could use some bump. hummm, the model kicks ass but i think its the shader thats thowing me off, other than the text, and the shader you model rocks man.

[jeb]

i agree with tha shader. looks too 3d.

hey did you noticed in harry potters movie that dobby even had subsurface scattered ears and skin. very subtile effect.

[g3n]

yep, smells like harry potter alright :) nice work. :thumbsup:

[zurfer]

Well seeing dobby in Harry potter is what made me want to model a little troll like character but he´s actually inspired by a drawing from Alan Lee in the book Faeries wich is great for inspiration by the way.
I acctually tried a harder bump but that did not look so great. I think that we notice it more clearly when axamining a character up close and not in its environment. Look at how little bump a human has on film after makeup and camera filters. They look allmost smooth, and the fact that most of our own characters wont be shown on anything bigger than a computer monitor, and probobly not in close up I think its a waste of time trying to do the textures for a film medium. You can get away with a lot if the medium is Video that dont look so good on your monitor. One can allways go back and re do them if one needs to.
Yes i would like to get a subsurface scattering renderer but alas my funds for this are not to great.

Thanx for all your wonderfull replies, I´ll try to correct what´s needed and update with the rigged character and better lighting later.

Cheers

Looks great.

I love the body and the way it is set up. nice texture on the face.

Not sure if you have a bump on the face.. but if you do not I would add one.

Its starting to look really good.
