We're back with another entry in our weekly community project, where we post a render or animation created by a member of the Cgtuts+ community, and ask you to provide feedback and constructive criticism on their work. It’s a great way to learn more about the intricacies of computer graphics, express your viewpoint, and have your own content critiqued by your fellow artists!
Quick Ground Rules
- Be nice! We’ve deliberately chosen work that isn’t perfect, so please be constructive with any criticism.
- Feel free to offer any type of advice on – Modeling, Texturing, Materials, Lighting, Rendering, Composition, etc.
- You can also link to another render that you feel offers a great example of this type of content done exceptionally well.
So let's get to it, here's this week's entry created by Bernhard Poppe!

A Little Background
I am a 16 year old student from Austria, and every summer I do a big project to learn (I don't have that time during school.) This image was created using Maya, Zbrush and Photoshop! I learned a lot during the creation of this peace. For example: I had never modeled a "human" in Maya, dealt with bones and rigging, or used hair before. Sorry for my bad English! :)
