Title: Sadhu_sacred smoke
Name: Basil Pio
Country: USA
Software: Lightwave 3D, Modo, Photoshop, ZBrush

A sadhu (Indian holy man) smoking a chillum, a common way to get "closer" to God. The models were modeled and rendered in modo, details done in mudbox and zbrush. Hair done in LW with the help of Sasquatch. Some post work done in photoshop.

wicked man, the hands look great! dunno what it is but theres something about his eye that seems a bit lifeless, maybe make them a little more shiny? also the shadow under his turban, particularly on the right going towards his ear is too dark, the sun would be shining through the fabric a little and the light from his skin next to the shadow would bounce off into that area aswell.
great concept tho

Thanks for your comments guys. The hair was done in LW with the help of Sasquatch, sorry I left out that info. About the eyes, they were meant to look lifeless and spaced out. The smoke is usally hash, mixed with different tabacco mixes, maybe I could have done a better job of making them look lifeless. I was not completely happy about the turban and now that you mention it Russta, I should have increased the SSS on the turban, that would have helped in the shadow areas. Thanks once again.

Great artwork man. You have maintained the flavour of indianess in the composition everything is looking great except the smoke. One more thing usually sadhu's don't wear turban and spacially white turbans. These type of clothes usually wear by 'Rajasthanis' who live in deset areas.

But great work. :)

...I think your man looks WONDERFUL. The techy things, such as shadowing and subsurface scattering don't bother me so much as the smoke itself. Doesn't look anything like hash/tobacco smoke. But you already knew that! I wish you well...
