The texture and the shader look phantastic. The ear looks a little strange, though. Maybe a little too much transparency there?

Just saw your Hellboy (11.18.2009)... I read you have been at rendo since the begining... I thought I'd go back to your first page... I really don't know how long Renderosity has been around... Your hellboy looks great... I don't know if you like suggestions, I do... I'd suggest ageing his face another 10 to 15 years... and more meat in the chest area - more "stocky"... but, it does look damn good... Music sounds great too. I like it, but I didn't know it was you or I would of paid more attention. I love all kinds of music, but prefre Rock - Def Leppard is my favorite.... Your music reminds me of Enrique inglacious (spelling?) - I loved his music and played it alot 6, 7 years ago.
