Well, i posted this on a few forums already, but i thought why not also on the latest in Mudbox forums! Let's see, how to post something....
so, here it is!
This is a small tribute to a great spiritual personality, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. I started to work on him as a part of Blend Shapes with Bryan Silva, which was a great workshop and a great learning experiance! I decided to finish him up and do a small animation of the blendshapes. Hope u like it, C&C most welcomed!

Wow, some of the best work I have seen in quite some time.

how long did it take you to build?

Did you hand paint the textures or are they cut up photos?

[milivoj_popovic]

hi!
tnx a lot for the positive feedback! glad you like it

ashley-i rendered it in Lighwave3D using sss.
claude-i was working on it during the 2 month CGWorkshop "Blend Shapes with Bryan Silva". After that i decided to finish the project and texture and render it, and that took me a couple of weeks on and off.
For texturing i used some skin photos i found, and painted over them, around them and with them

Awesome! love the blend shapes! I love the painting and blending technique of using photos, I use the same technique.
