Brilliant work! The expression is perfect. Im not sure but I feel the white of the eyes could be slightly brighter, other than that its flawless.

It’s an excellent job. You paid attention to every detail.
A couple of things that strike me though:
1>> Skin. It’s AWESOME! Right down to the eyes and SSS. I like the technique and it looks cool so don’t change it. BUT it looks like a laytex mask, WHICH is COOL!
2.>> Beard. I hate them. Not because I can’t grow one, but it hurts to shave all the time. The only comment that I have here is that the hairs are too perfect. Meaning, it’s not messed up enough.
EXCELLENT Work!!

Very impressive! WOW! It could be a virtual actor in a live action movie and probably most people would never notice!

I found no results when Googling them…
Any links appreciated

I usually stay within the animation thread, but I’m coming out to say this is one of the best and most realistic modelling texturing etc, hats off for you, it’s breathtaking 5 *'s from me!
Wow it’s good, damn.

Outstanding!
I just wish there was a little more shadow under the hair that’s hanging over the brow - otherwise it’s frickin’ perfect.

amazing!! really. Stunningly realistic. Could you show us what the bump map looks like?
I also really like the subtlety of the expression. he reminds me of Liam Neeson.

This may seem premature but have you got any plans to do lipsinc with this it would be so amazing if you did.

8 pages and still going strong. you definitely deserve it. and for the person that said he’s too clean to be a warrior, they take baths too you know =p. i love the expression on his face by the way. and, just a side note, i don’t think i’ve ever actually posted a comment on a 3d piece on this forum but i just had to say something. way to go

I´d hate to be the one to animate him, he looks SO real that one slightly wrong move/twink/sneer/grin/blink and the spell is broken.

Haha, me also… I totally overlooked it at first. You know, I would love to see a clay render of this, or the equivalent.
