I made this character for a modeling head challenge over tweak - kolby jukes 's forum - . Eventually i decided to add a Zbrush Pass and create the texture to have a final pic. I used 3dstudio max for polymodeling, zbrush to add details , texture and Mental Ray for the render. i used the SSS Fast Skin Material + Displace for the shader.
The modeling work is based on a concept created by Miles Teves ( www.milesteves.com ) and the texturing is my own.

Please look at the hires image for a larger view of my artwork.
