Ohh Nicely done man! :D LOTR is such a cool trilogy, so much cool stuff to learn in there! Balrog is epic!

Also, Ownage is pretty cool, and they do paint as well, and will not cost 2k for a bust for sure... :p

Once again, congrats, really cool! clap

best,

One last update, I think that for now it's finished........:)
Zbrush render, the material is a tweaked matcap, one of the last added on zbrush 3.5

Hope you like it.

Hmm I'm not a big fan of the latest image, there's something about the matcap that's taking away from the great work that was put into the sculpt. I much prefer the previous matcap and renders that you had before, it felt much stronger and classy. In any case great work, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!:)

Great model Matteo, maybe the horns tips could more pointy?
This shader makes me think of those microscope shots :)

Hi Pascal, yes, it's a very similar matcap, used for this kind of stuff! :)

@Rowan - Hey man, how are you? Hope everything is good in MPC, are you there right? Btw many thanks. ;)

@Marcus - Thanks man, maybe you are right, anyway I want to start some render test into maya. :)

Hi Marco, many thanks!! nice to see you here!
How is it going in vancouver?

Here a little update, I'm working on low poly UV for starting some texture but at the moment as usual a small render test in zbrush with a different material, and a little post in photoshop.
Cheers
Matteo
