Great details and texture quality. Just read on the paper Beijing China is rebuilding the "Peking Man" Archaelogical Museum which has it trace of ancestry to Homo Erectus as you had said.

Superb! CC

I want this very badly! I love love love furry hides! LOL Will you please make him DAZ Studio compatible honey??? OMG.. I'm so excited!

Yes I know Homo Erectus was the most longest living around that spride worldwide, however nobody is sure if we have anything to do with this species , however the Home Erectus from china looks a lot different that this one , they adopt and change as modern human did , they was 25 % taller as the female and very active , our genes are 1 % different from chimpanzee so i guess we all come from the same "mother " some way however we are more closer to Homo Erectus as any other species :) and btw I just finished texturing.. time for some renders now.. I will post later the new previews rendered in Poser..

@ RAMWolff I know you do I did even mention you yesterday I said you will not complain about the ton of body hair lol plus I am working on a special MATS this time for DS that will reflect the same way 100% it is important cuz of the hair.. and thanks for all the nice comments guys! I am excited too.. I had this project open for a very long time now, glad is almost done ..

Thank you for posting this, and thank you for working so hard on it. I'm quite excited. The skin is excellent, and would be useful for some kinds of fantasy characters as well ;) As would the morph dialed in partly or with other morphs. So if you can't tell, I'm eagerly awaiting.

WOW this is amazing Cath! love it! Your ideas are growing better each day! Hope you plan to release him. Marky ; )

this looks very good, the head is straight on. but don't make the skin too hairy. H.erectus lived under the African sun and did sweat to keep cool, something of little use with an ape-like pelt or almost ape-like pelt.

Very cool
louly
I'm impressed :) I find him a tad too handsome though but on the other hand, that's also refreshing :)
TallPockets
WELL Done! (Luckily, for human civilization, said 'man', even THEN, did NOT ask for "DIRECTIONS!" The result was, he 'wandered' the globe! WINK).
RawArt
Gorgeous! I love how you did the body hair (and dont envy the hell that must have been on the seams) Looking forward to this one! Rawn (RawArt)
thecytron
Interesting presentation!
Meshbox
I really like historical based reconstructions - this will make an excellent character! :-)

Very cool! I want one! Will there be a female version as well?
