I like it:)
This is absolutely nuts! Great work in every aspect man. The render is nice, but the sculpting is really immaculate.

May I ask which skin shader you’re using? I’ve found it really difficult to get good results similar to yours using the standard translucent skin material in KS. I feel like I’m missing some of its potential!
good job on mushroomman, and great sketchbook!
This one looks fantastic!!! Great work!
Cheers,

Great character design, love it! Nice paint job as well!
Awesome work and thanks for the tutorial. I hope it goes top row !
It was a great pleasure following your progress during the workshop. This piece turned out beautiful and the amount of time and dedication you put in this model really shows! (do I really need to mention talent and skill!!!)
I’ll echo a previous request: Top Row!!!

Thanks a lot everyone, really glad you like the final piece! 
dunkel: Another fellow classmate! Thanks and good to see you around here
Ehsan: Hey there! Thanks for stopping by and congrats on your piece as well, good stuff
polaroid29: Yeah, like I said Keyshot has a lot of limitations when it comes to rendering organic stuff. I used Human skin 2 material for the body. I can’t really share any settings because it’s all very scale depended. I just tweaked the subsurface color a bit making it darker and set the translucency value to 3. The result was still far from what I was looking for as most of the surface detail got washed away. That’s why I had to render a separate pass (cavity) and blend it in Photoshop to get the detail back. Also, now that Keyshot supports physical lights, try adding a simple plane to your scene and apply a soft light material to it. You won’t get good results without proper lighting and HDRI alone simply won’t do the trick.
Antropus: Hey, Kris, thanks for the kind words! Was a pleasure to be part of the class
Hi Aleks,
I’ve been following your work on the Kris Costa’s workshop and couldn’t wait to see your piece finished.
Great work !
And thank you for sharing some techniques.
Thanks for the tips, now I need to learn about layers in ZBrush 
lol
Amazing work! A++
Hi guys!
Here’s another piece that I can finally call finished. It’s probably too colorful and there’s quite a bit that can be improved rendering wise, but the model was done to show my hard surface modeling skill rather than how good I’m at lighting and composition.
Hope you like it! Next stop - updating ZBrush, testing new features and starting a new character!
Just beein silly here. J.J. Abrams would probably approve

Design of elastic! Perfect!
This thing is crazy,in a good way. Very cool!
Thanks, everybody, I’m glad you like it!
Just a reminder, the original design is by Keith Thompson and can be seen here: http://www.keiththompsonart.com/pages/archguardian.html
Here’s a new character I’m working on. The whole purpose of this is to try Marvelous Designer in action so the body is a really rough representation of the forms and proportions I’m going for. Hopefully I’ll have some progress to show in a couple of days!
PS. ZRemesher is amazing!

Great, I’m excited to see where you go with Marvelous Designer. I’m also going to be learning and incorporating that into my zbrush workflow. Please do post about your experience.
