Hmmm... I agree on the pores and 'fluff' on skin textures... sometimes too much detail is spent on creating the big picture that all that detail is lost tot he eye. Not sure about the dark mark on his upper lip... but hey... if it's in the base texture... then it has to stay. I likes him!
HighPriest
Excellent work.. again :) The eyes are fantastic!! Piękny praca!! (I think I said that right, a little rusty on that language)

HOLY MOLEY Cath, that's absolutely gorgeous. So realistic looking. I'm really excited about your offering. I do have one request if you can pull it off, smooth face, scruffy face and this goatee option would be fabulous!! Sheesh, he's so darned handsome.
