:welcome:Rafe!
Great works, I love the skull render (is this 3d?) and the eyes closed face looks really nice and natural too.
A couple of small crits, the skull cranium looks a touch flat on the top from the side view, and for the last face render I would soften the nose tip cartilage, and tighten the crease between the eyebrows. Also the ear connection at the top could be slightly sharper.
Anyways, I love these models, and the skull render is just great, congrats!clap

Hey Pascal,
Thanks man, im very glad to hear this. :bouncy:

About the skull, it`s a zbrush render. I use a material from Erklaerbar and configured a basic light.
Thanks for all the critics, it is very welcome, i`ll fix this things.;)

soon i`ll post more updates.

Cheers.

Skull has an interesting texture on it. It would be nice to see the teeth with a different texture. The shape of the skull, like Pascal pointed out, is a little misshaped I believe but maybe this is some sort of birth defect or intentional abnormality. The cheek bone where it meets the skull behind the Jaw bone is anatomically incorrect. There is no cavity visible for the ear. I think some quick reference on a real human skull could help this issue fairly quickly. Very awesome skills apparent in your sculpting abilities.

John-Michael - thanks for the tips. ;) I'll fix this.
But i think this 'hole' it seems bigger then in the model without this light, but i need to fix this anyway.

Thanks a lot.

Here a little update. I did this sketch for a RPGCON a event that occurs here in Brazil.

i hope you like it.
