This was a very good exercise in practicing the pipeline working of character creation. I mainly followed the sculpting section since that's my weakest skill right now. The retopo was a little challenging since I never attempted it but i feel the overall result came out pretty good.
For the lighting and composition, I had a look at Kent's pierro tutorial series which was very informative. Both Johnathon's and Kent's series which action packed and highly recommended. Hope you guys like my result :)
