Holy Sh*t thats awesome.
Except the nose and lips seem a little to jelly like to me… to my SSS i think. But just brilliant looking.
Can you spare some detail on how you did the skin texture and maybe your SSS setup.
I made a similar looking head AGES ago (the black guy from the green mile,looks similar to your guy…related?? hehe) and would love to finish him off with some great skin texturing. I even have the green mile built and waiting 
Beautyfull face.
Good job

yikes almighty thats cool. yeah please show your vraymaterial settings.
yeah those earlier images aren’t nothing compared to these - he’s really come alive!
¨thank you. a´m glad you like him. I have a problen regarding the sss material; As I understand it, a glas of milk gets lighted right through from a single light but I would guess about the same amount of light gets reflected out back from say the middle of the glass. I can´t get my vray sss to work that way It will only spread in a 180 degree array. I woul like the light to go in a little bit and then spread 360 degrees. I have tryed the fwd/bwd spinner without any effect. Allso I if its possible if you could set a color for the thikness stop. maby I´m far out on the physics now.
Anyway, I´ll post the sss material settings soon.

Yeah SSS in vray can be a very touchy thing thats for sure.
Hi
dont know your first post. this one looks great. So whats about a wireframe and some experience exchange 
Tom
Wow ! very expressive !
Good job 
just like Daforce said, lips & nose seem a little bit jelly
nice skin shader!
he looks like he has a cold
good model and very good material. I think more detail in exterior mouth…more cheekbones?
thank you for all your comments. If you realy want to take a look at the materialsettings now pleace post otherwise I wate untill I have tweaked it OK. I think the cold is gone now but maby some other diseases have occured?
anyway here is an update still the head is the only part that is textured and som ps collor tweaking as well
//Daniel
Wow that looks awesome.
I would like to take a look at the material settings now…or like you had them in the first pictures.. and also later when they are tweaked
:shock: impressive
nice. its coming along nicely.
A little bit grainy but the SSS on the ears and nose is spot on!
thanks all, aboute the graniness; Its on realy low qmc right now, plus I added a big vray light over him.
here is the materials. Added them to two tea pots. one for the first post and one for the second. the pots are aboute the same size as the head. the textures are not included but…
//Daniel
Sweet, thanks heaps for that.
Weird, my browser pick it up as a doc file.. haha odd. meh.. renamed
Wow, excellent stuff. The eyes and expression make him look really alive. Very convincing!
And thanks for sharing the material
Great! I prefer the exaggerated SSS of the first images.
a small update and some ps work oh god what am I doing with my life, all this time spent on what?
