Ahhhhhh.... awesome man. Doing the surface of this should be lots of fun..

You going to use Z-Brush?

ZBrush would certainly make it a lot easier, but where's the fun in that?

Looking good, aint a clue about z brush though but I do remember reading a tutorial on importing and exporting it from Highend 3d

not bad going magicsy though the eye looks way too far back compared to the reference shot.

keep it up
