Hi,
I'm doing this model to learn the new modo 201 rendering pipe, and also the new modeling tools. This is all done in modo with detail sculpting done in zbrush.
Well, here it is so far.

started the model using ref from palpatine and the actor who plays him

Very nice job. My only crit would be on the base mesh. Check out these changes I would make.

the red line for the upper lip is too low :) (on my reference)

Here's an update. Worked on detailing a lot more. This is about a 9000 poly head with a displace map. Started on textures as well.
FernandoLujan - i'll try to implement those into the final facial pose.

Hi again,
here's a new render straight out of mod0 201. started the eyes and worked on the facial expresion some more.

this one is rendered with an area light, spot and point light. radiosity, and a bit of sss. theres a little bit of post in photoshop, mainly some grain and a bit of leveling.

i may not get to work on this for awhile since i have to go back to work tomorrow.
cheers, and happy 4th

Coming along nice, but I think the scene is too dark and you cant really recognize the character.

i think the darkness of the scene DOES make it recognisable :) it fits the character fine
modeling is ok, but a bit too hard of a structure i think.
keep it up
