head looks great! what I find very cool about it is the uneven topology of the face. this creates personality. nose- and mouthpart is awsome, only the eyes look little different. kind of empty or peering. but maybe this is supposed to be this way when U want to animate it. allthough I wouldn´t know it myself I guess the skinn shading could need some work.

this mesh was sculpted in ZB and i wanted to use it as a disp map... but its not a good idea to use disp maps for such simple geometry like human face [unless u have time to render micro disp in MR
]so i exported a subdiv lvl 3 to maya , about 10k polys and also exported the base mesh for rigging.

Hows it going? did you get my reply at Outlaws about the creature?
Heads looking good, is that true that Zbrush loops the stuff 4 you?

yea i saw your reply.
ZB has no topology control what so ever,
you need to build a base mesh in a modeling app, and UV it there too. like i did for this head.
otherwise u'll get some funky UV's and if u build a mesh out of "zspheres" its almost not workable in an animation package.

and like Pony pointed out he's a little reflective / high spec, but that's easy fix, and I do realize it's not final.
Chin area, nose and mouth is really really cool. 4 stars moving to 5 once it's final

Just ine crit. I think the Hat and jacket could be a little more dirty. I think there actual textures might stand out too much and some dirt and worn marks could really help that out. Awesome render though
