Well, I for one think this is absolutely terrific. Your use of textures/bumps/trans maps, etc. is also, in my book, wonderful. Since I'm a color/texture person in 'real' life, I'm always attracted to that part of the image. Then I start to look at other details-which are great (the ONLY thing I could see to change at all would be to cock his eyes slightly to the his right-I get the feeling he's focused on her, but his eyes don't quite follow that). I think you've done a wonderful job on his face with both morphs and all--- and the goatee, etc. I'm curious how you did the goatee-did you dl one of them and then post process or what? Its really good and realistic. He looks like a real person-in fact, to some degree he reminds me of someone. I think both the B/W and the color are great, but since I am a color person and you've done SUCH a good job with the colors, I go for the colored one myself. Just great!!! (the dork is gone ) Diane
