More Z Brush & Texture Tests

I have worked out my workflow between Max and Z brush, and started my first attempts and texturing the skin. Still looks a bit to CG'y there are some amazing examples on the web but no tutorials. Next i will try and animate the characters facial expressions.

Z Brush Test

I've been trying to learn Z brush, to help add more detail to some of my model.I found this portrait on Flickr and i have been trying to remodel. The next step is to try and animate the face whilst retaining all the detail of the wrinkles, and skin. I haven't applied any texture yet Everything is in 3D.
