This bust was a study in texture and lighting – with a focus on rendering skin, fabric, and the coat.
I aimed to differentiate surfaces clearly, and to introduce a subtle moonlight effect, using cooler tones on one side of the face and shoulder to suggest a directional, low-light source.

The sculpt itself is very painter-friendly, full of character, and offered a great chance to explore atmosphere and contrast without overcomplicating the scene.

All feedback is welcome and appreciated

    Hey! You fixed the terminator! This lighting effect is much improved over the original pictures on Verko's server. Still really good control on the hatching there :)

    Love the different textures and the night side of the face gives him a really sinister feel, you also nailed the beard. Awesome job!
