Description

So I rarely let these out in public, but this is a WIP. I really would like any opinions at all on this. Good? Bad? Indifferent? Too creepy/weird/blah/whatever? If you have an opinion, let me hear it. But if your opinion is "This sucks!" tell me why it sucks and I'll be a happy camper.

The blue stars are cool =) the blue works nice with the colour of his hair. I'd move the biggest star closer to his eye, but that may be too cliche.
Are you going Iray here? Then you may want to see what's the max texture size is (in the "advanced" render settings IIRC) - because of the prominent stubble, it's particularly noticeable where the head UV ends and the torso UV starts. If you haven't changed the max size from defaults, I noticed the defaults are too small, and turning it up to 4096 could help fight this.
I'd also add some SSS to the skin along with gloss. BTW if it's Iray, I think I managed to figure out the way to approximate those real-world params from the H.Jensen SSS paper (no 'translucency maps' cheats needed). Let me know if you're interested.
