need refraction of the water surface on him.
Pretty cool, but why would a seal spirit strap feathers to itself? Also, the feathers should be bent back..
I think red strips of cloth would make more sense.

Low res Jpeg, skin is a 2048 by 2048, so pretty good res in renders, yes I know it isn't brute style, I just did it for shits n giggles. Only straight up diffuse, will finish bottom tomorrow, and add specular and shaders and normal map and all that nice stuff.
Wait a second... thats a render?
yeah
I think you should wait next time until you get "beta" bitmaps for all of those (normal, spec, diffuse). It will look much nicer and people will be more impressed. Also, if you do diffuse first, I have to question your work flow. Granted, there are people that do diffuse first all the time (IIRC Con does), but it's much easier to do the heightmap/normal map first. Especially if you convert the height map to an AO map to bring out more detail in the diffuse.
Anyway, on to the skin. I think the gold is a bad idea. Needs to be normal metal. Same thing with the teal green. Also, the parts that are exposed metal look a bit too cloudy; actually, most of it does. It needs more material definition.
I think 1024x1024 would do fine for the skin. There isn't much in the way of detail even if you wanted to include normal maps.
I'd go with rooster on this one. Gold does not suite the gravity hammer nor the green.
Green is stone, jade to be exact, that's why it is kind of cloudy, as said I know it is not brutish in any way, was just skinning it for shits n giggles, i could change it to red and grey though.
you need to work on your material definition. this looks way too painterly.
Thanks for the crit guys, I just honestly don't think skinning is for me anyways, I just do it to get a breath of fresh air from painting in 2d.
Anyways just some more random wish wash, a bit morbid, but isn't my work always that in some way?
