I just thought I would post an image of a character I've been working on and ask a question... Do his hands need to be bigger they seem a little small to me. If you have any pointers please let me know. Man, I love CGI. I was never able to produce an image even close to this with a brush.

Sweet...and, yes...make 'em big...You know what us ladies think about hands, and noses ;) Love the veins in the legs.

I "third" the motion! Yes definitely enlarge the hands - if you're doing your own tex, "grime' them up, too. A barbarian's hands should look calloused & badly manicured. The rest of the image is INCREDIBLE - if a bit too clean. :) Wonderful work!

Love it, love it, love it! When will it be available! I'll be posting links from my Conan website for sure (make som commercial for you). It's based on Michael isn't it? I've been wanting a true Conan character. I can't wait!!! What hair do you use? Don't you think his chin is a little to sharp and his jaw i not quite wide enough? I've never liked to much veins in the legs and I've never seen it in any Conan picture I can remember either. The veins on the arms looks great though. I agree with what the other said about the hands. A little larger yes. The belt looks awful, the bearskin is fine, I like the tranparency. The boots definately needs texturing. Best of luck! I want this one!

Thanks, for the kind words and comments. I'll create some magnets and resize the hands. The Belt was a quick and dirty in max, I'm still undecided on what kind of belt to make for him. Any sugestions? As far as selling the character... I'm still pretty much a newbie at this (still learning how to use my tools). The figure is based on Massive Mike by wrymmaster. The hair is a freebe for Nene (I think) (Slightly modified by me). The skin texture is a modified "Carlos Forte" texture by Quim Abella. The skin bump map is a modified version of one of Catharina P's textures. (I added viens and smoothed it some.) The loin cloth is based a a skirt for vicky that I changed to fit and conform to Massive mike. The texture and transparecy are mine. The necklace is from the barbarian set for Vicky. (I changed to fit Massive Mike) The boots are made from Micheal's cowboy boots. ( I created a morph target to make the cuffs and I made the boots conform to Massive Mike.) The Belt is mine. The Axe is mine. The face is based on and inspired by Archangel Gabriel's Conan. I liked his much better than my origional based on the Daz's bodybuilder figure. I'm still toying with his scar instructions. So, I don't have the rights to sell it or give it away as it is, but if you want any of the stuff that belongs to me I can email it to you for free.
