Retexturing and poses by me.
Poser with very little post work in Photoshop (but alot of prework in Photoshop)
The vascular bump file is a royal pain to work with...
no matter what I do with it, it never turns out right.
Some veins look correct and some look like they are sunk into the skin.
And thanks to anyone I might have missed.

This is wonderful!!!!!!!!! You just get better and better! I love the expression. Everything just goes together so perfectly!!!

This is impressive work. Love the facial expression. The body texturing is good. The vein map works pretty well, especially along the shoulders and arms. The only suggestion I might offer is that his hands don't look pressed flat enough against the pillars to exert enough force to push them out of place. Thanks for giving us a look at this Bible character.

I dont know why all these visitors dont rate, too lazy, too shy or what ? This great picture deserves a ten and so it gets a ten. I always loved the story of Samson & Delilah. Thank you.

Damn. And they call ME a vandal... ^^ LOL Very kewl picture Cherok! Great expression and poses! You could have touched up on the sunken vains, plus the placing of the back columns is a bit unlogical, so that's why it gets an 8 (don't be sad - I almost never give away 10's) ^^

Very nice! Love the lighting and texturing, although I see what you mean about the bump maps looking inverted on his legs. If you're going for historical accuracy, though, Samson's eyes had been gouged out before he brought down the temple. I would expect him to have a beard, too, though that wasn't explicitly mentioned in the story. Artistically, it still works.

Impressive~ I love this image. All Biblical subjects are good sources for artistic inspiration- bravo.

Okay the thing I love about this the most is the fact that the poser figure looks like it is interacting with the scene. Too many people make a scene which looks like the hands are "floating" over the objects - this one looks like it is really pushing thoses pillars... Wonderful work.
