thank you! yes the skin was quite dry, now should be better. Still working on bump, adding little wrinkles by handpainting.

Last update: (hair\eyelashes are not updated)

Ok no time's left. Hope to render the final layers today, so tomorrow I'll have the time to composite my final image.
I have to work on hair, the skin is to be considered finished due to lack of time

I have final layers at final resoultion (2000x1200): here is the main pass, z-depht, hair pass and reflections layer (half-sized).
I worked a lot on hair and eyes, and improved the skin with more irregularities on the diffuse (see the nose) and a bit of small wrinkles (under the eyes and at around the mouth).
Now I'm going to composite...

Ok, 3 hours of post production and here is my final image.
I composited all my layers together, colorcorrection , added depth of field and a bit of blur and grain.

It's time to make final conclusions: it has been very hard. Very very hard: it's my first 3d portrait, and I known nothing about before starting this one. So I'm quite satisfied with the result, even if I know it's far from perfection. Never be fully satisfied, they say

Hope you all will like it too anyway

I did my best!
I want to thank everyone who helped me reading my thread and making comment and giving me precious advice, but even those great guys out there who wrote the several tutorials I read and that teached me te base of how to make this or that. But first of all I want to thank very much my girlfriend who really really helped me a lot during this work!
Thank you very much

Well, stop talking now

All the best to everybody, and thank you cgarena.com for this great contest!!
