Description
Just a WIP, played with dirtying the face greatly, want to add either an industrial tone, or a helmet with a light on it, like the coal miners wore, if anybody knows of one, let me know, or a military helmet...I liked the gritty expression and dirty texture, any help greatly appreciated.

Just amazing.
Beautiful AND manly all at the same time :) VERY very real, I think that this has to be your best, keep on knocking us out!
GASP
May I make a few small sugestions? If a person were to look into to a bright light I don't think his pupils would be quite that dialated, if it were me I might cut them down to half that size. The crows feet at the eyes are a nice effect, but the lines on his forehead seem a little light. When a person works in a dirty environment such as a factory or a coal mine the dirt builds up in the creases of the face making lines of the face darker than they would normally be. I don't think I would put a helmet on him, I think that would take away from the impact of the face. Maybe a dirty knotted rag around his neck instead.
Amazing Syyd. Love the expression on his face and the lighting.
Gorgeous! Lady those eyes are simply breathtaking! And the texture is amazing!
the first thought that sprang in my mind was...."steve Mcqueen...towering inferno"looks wicked!!!!!
My first thought as it was loading and just the eyes were showing was Steve Austin from WWF! Syyd, your men always have such lovely lips s Fabulous work.
Wow... i can see why you are one of the famous poser character artists... in credible work.
