I agree with Wizzard about the eyes and the skin, black skin can be a bit tuff, but nothing is impossible...I did an image of Drizzt a while back, its on my web in the character gallery... you should also check out Anton's tips on rendering skin, the highlight, ambient, and reflective colors can really be your freind with black textures... something else I tried with my black texture for the poser horse was to add a violet reflection map to the skin set to 25% under the texture, it gave that sheen... Nice work so far though :)
