Looks pretty epic, at least from what I can see on the screenshot. However, don't you think 60 mb are kind of huge for a single model + textures? Anyway, good work.

Neat... but I will probably have to work on my rig some more... it is somewhat broken :(

CruzR - thanx :) I think so too but hadn't any better idea for textures than .tga [png takes a lot more time to save especially when I was working on 4k or 8k]

Julius - thank you :) your rig is very good - the only difficult part is when I need to change proportions [eg. it was easier for me to copy fingers form control armature, add constrains and join with deformer than adjust deformer bones]. also a good thing would be changing capital leters for normal (eg. .R -> .r) [some exporters don't like big letters :P]

ps. but I really like the rig :D

Yeah those are some of the problems... I have saved your feedback in my rig folder and will try to fix that next time I work on it (don't wait for it though... right now I can even use blender on my laptop due to GPU problems).

If you select "Compress" when saving it will only be 35 MB.

Some notes on it:

The textures are better this time (well, the bow/quiver/arrows could use some work and the skin color seems a bit off)
The presentation could be a bit better (mostly the lighting)
The custom shader for the skin doesn't really add much I think it would be better without it
You have baked the AO from the low res version? The effect will be probably much better if using the high res mesh instead.
Modelling is excellent as always.

A good-looking model and a good source for an inspiration. You must have had good referencies while creating this. Tri count is high but may be acceptable for a main character. However, using this in a game would probably require all other models to be in high quality as well. Thanks for the model!

rohezal - thnax :)

MrBeast - thank for comment :) presentation wasn't most important (also I wanted a neutral lighting) but I must disagree about sss - imo it's very important (gives bluish tint and head doesn't look like plastic). about ao I wanted only approximation - I assume that in game it will be turned off and there will be ssao :)

lancel - thanks :) I was inspired by Warhammer art (you can find some great concept here: http://warhammeronline.com/conceptart/index.php)
