Hi Pengy ... I believe if you do some small and simple adjustments, you can increase character's appearance.. i did a small corrections as you can see in the image below There are other areas that those adjustments can help, mainly in turn of the ear and nose. keep good job .... Xtaz

Salve Hashers... ... and the project continues After three days which I was making experiments and almost I lost my hair, I got a reasonable illumination to my set....I should test a night illumination this weekend, comments are welcome ... always thx Xtaz

Playing whit ilumination ....

Hi Heiner : I would use more hooks, to reduce the amount of patches in that area ... or you can also use porcelain ( be carefull whit 5 points ) I was observing, you must adjust the CP´s in the neck too, they are "leaving the rhythm" cheers Xtaz

Hi ... Since this is a professional illustration, I would try something photo realistic ... Forget the property toon, and work more the illumination and the reflection. This backdrop is very good, I liked!! keep the good job cheers Xtaz

hello mike : my 2 cents, you arent arresting the foot of the character to the ground, he is sliding bad .. the ilumination is great .. did you use radiosity ? cya Xtaz

hi scrawntor : Thx ..... i used a very very very basic surface and 1 material ( enviroment map ). these news reflections options are great !!!!!!!!! THX HASH´s guys !!!!
