Awesome work, i especially like the final render. the textures, shaders look neat 
i think in your sculpt the wrinkles generally don[t look deep and tight enought but for some reason it works reakky well in the final render probably because of the good work on the texturing.
on the your last post, the color images are your reference photo right ? it’s not cg …
Just asking cause the wrinkles on your hand sculpt don’t seem to match the photos.
neat.
Wow !!! Superb masterpiece man soundless !!!

Aazing work, I wish I could achieve atleast 10 % of u r skill.
I have no words to praice
amazing work but a forum is a place to make criticism.
You choose a realistic rendering, so the face should be perfect, but my first feeling wa: it’s looks like Clint Eastwood but something’s wrong: it’s either in the eyes or the upper lips a bit to present.
I don’t know it’s very subtle, and very hard to succeed in making a photorealistic portrait.
Also you have a character with a strong personnality and you choose to present him in a static position with no facial expression.
This is impressive! Very nice texturing and lighting. I like the hands. Good job!
Amazing job !
That is absolutely Awesome work - really great likeness and as a Clint fan i really appreciate this piece!
Top work!
Fantastic!
Perhaps you could make him look a little grumpier.
I’m sure he’s all mellow in real life but I kinda expect him to look like he’s about to shoot someone in the face most of the time.
His eyebrows seem slightly bushier and wilder to me and perhaps you could try giving them a little frown. Even when he’s relaxed his eyebrows don’t seem to raise all that high. Also I’m not sure but perhaps his eyes are a tiny bit larger. His lips might be slightly thinner, especially his upper lip.
You are SO close!
This is getting scary real
thats freaking great works,
Hi dude… never seen an model like this in zbrushcentral… its super work…
amazing sculpting, and amazing rendering.
i’m “new” to zbrush and i would like to know why you choose not to use the normal map in the face… isn’t it suppose to be normal+displacement for the perfect render?
in the rest of the body you didn’t use the displacement instead. why??
thanks
This was rendered with Mental Ray… which features were used? FG? GI? Raytracing?
Great work all around!
I think the lips appear a bit larger in the previous comparison because he has more of a relaxed pose…
amazing work!!!
well done! love those sculpted hands. And the skin shader/textures are very interesting too. Great work.
This is a wonderful piece!
I too immediately felt something was wrong with the eyes, Clint’s signature feature. So I took a few minutes to break down an analysis for you that may help improve this sculpt.
I took your image next to a photo online into Photoshop and tried to match your render closer to the color/lighting in the photo.
Next I digitally manipulated the eyes by pulling them further apart slightly and reshaping them into his classic squint. Now to become know forever as the “Clint squint”…

Clint has specific “trademarked” eyes. It’s his main feature and they are rarely, if ever, relaxed. Your model has a quite relaxed pose for the eyes, yet his brows are in the “squint” position. Either the brows need to higher and more relaxed too, or the eyes need to squint sharper.
Also the eyes seemed slightly too small at first but I think they are too close to center and need to come outward just a little. Maybe enlarging them by 5% might be needed.
The top of his skull is flared outward too much. His cranium should taper back inward toward the top.

@3DTA: you forgot the different lenses, always the same mistake with ref photos. You compare a wide lenses with an orthographic view.
BTW this isn’t the appropriate way to enjoy art. We have a decent portrait of Clint here, the likeness is strong. I prefer a more expressionistic approach in portraiture but this is only me. Its an excellent thread and hands area is still my favorite.
It’s not an exact representation of clint and there is room for improvement, 3dta gave a good critique and analysis on how this could be improved.
