Hey all, i am busy with a personal development project and would like to share my progress so far, would love to know what you think and if you have any feedback or tips and tricks to please share it with me 
My goal is to create a character that is believable and without having to spend an excessive amount on geometry. I have uploaded 2 versions, i am currently liking V2 better, overall it has a better feeling to it compared to V1. I am using the light setup from Mike scene in V2. In V1 i used my own lighting, would be awesome to hear your thoughts, cheers ! I do plan on doing a full body character, i am leaning towards a viking. I do plan on doing beard and hair as well (V2 is the first image)
