Cheerz!

Here are three renderings with different light setups in Maya to find the best value of the skin shader.
I also painted new maps for the coat weight, rough and spec channels.

I think the skin looks better than the previous.

It is very tricky to research his head tattoo...

Modeling and Texturing in Mudbox 2018
Rendered in Maya 2019 - arnold renderer

Using XYZ Skin Alphas
Nuke for merging the AOVs

I started a new subproject! In the past I reshaped the head and worked on the body but I was really unhappy with the results.
Now (yesterday) I retextured the skin and rebuilt his beard for a better natural look. Tweaked the new arnold shader in Maya 2019.
I took the model from 2017

Here is my reference screen with color grading from Vikings.

Hope you stay tuned.
