the scaly looks nice - try a better light setup the colors looks all orange or another skin color … hmmm more green/grey?
Races of Middle Earth - Character - azazel
Ok, bumps toned down and added in some more place. Started to play with speculars, but it tends to look plastic, so I guess I’ll render specs on separate pass (probably using reflections instead of real specs) and composite in PS. Same thing goes for color: I prefer to change colors in post, much faster that way. Rig is coming, definitely…
warning, this time file is bigger:

Thax, Dimitri, next one: “U talkin’ to me???”

Together with my brother Selim we redesigned skeleton and skinning… Ok, he did most of the weighting…
WOW! How come I haven’t seen this thread till now?! Your character is awesome azazel! Very original! Keep it up! ![]()
Incredible !!
This character rocks, the textures are excellent.
Very beautiful work :buttrock:
Thanks guys a lot 
Just a very quick sketch of what I want for final pic. Hope I manage to finish before deadline… Anyway, almost everything here is to be changed: colors will be less saturated, there’ll be more dark creatures in the mist (ony one now), much more details everywhere, and I’ll give him some weapon, preferably scavanged orc sword…

Can’t wait to see it finished…
Me too;)
Started painting the background: Trees and everything on separate layers, not much more done yet. Character is just a placeholder now…


Here’s final head closeup, there will be also this forest scene and model showoff for final…



the texturing is really beautiful, as the modeling i must say
