    Default the neck

    This is a WIP I just started today. This is also the first time I have shown any of my work on this forum. I am calling him "the neck" for obvious reasons.

    I just realized some distortion in the previous pic. I rerendered after recreating the displacement map with a higher resolution mesh.

    It's been awhile since I've worked on this. Here is some texturing and a quick render in MR using the misss_fast_skin shader and a bump that probably needs to be brought down a bit.

    I liking this one. Great exaggerated features. Do you plan on modeling the body?

    Thank you for your response, as you can see, it's slim pickings for critiques and feedback.

    I don't plan on modeling the body but I have the shoulders as a mesh all ready uv mapped, I am in the process of texturing it now and I will have that up hopefully in the next day or two.

    quick update. I don't think I like the colors of the sweater but tell me what you think. I also brought down the saturation in the flesh tone. I think I like this adjustment a bit better.

    just for fun I decided to throw an ambient occlusion pass on this render to see the results. This is closer to the final look I want. Desaturated colors deep shadows. I've got a bit more modeling to do because I have decided what I am going to put as his "chest." The shirt is growing on me.

    Wow this is coming along great, i really love that second render of him with his shirt especially. The sculpting of the face is cool i really like the jaw and the way the bottom half of his face expands along with his neck so it kind of flows nicely together

    I know you said ur not gonna do a body, but it would be really nice to see one, with some more clothing and in a pose so we can see his characteristics a bit more.

    I imagine him as some kind of character from X-Men or something lol

    I haven't really thought a body through but I gave it a shot. Quick concept drawing.
