monster head, which one do you prefer? if any

[JML]

just tried different effects on a monster/alien head, it's just a start of course, I'm just trying to see which one people prefer.

let me know if you really don't like the shape of it, i'm playing with it.

the shape is really kinda of weird and hard to distinguish. i wouldn't really suggest changing the geometry, but UV mapping the head to where u have dark shadows around the eyes and some sence of lips around the mouth. mainly just add variances and shadows with in the skin texture whichdistinguish rather than confuse the heads geometry.

thanks palpal, I like the one you did too.
the color of it might change though.

master25, thanks for the input, I know what you mean because a coworker said he did not like it either so I decided to post it to see what people thought on the forum.

we talked about it at work more, and I will also try to add small horns on the sides..
I'm just trying different things right now,
I was mostly just trying the new node displacement and aps..

Monster02. It makes him look sort of like a rock golem, which is cool. :)

I think the last of the originals is best, but the texture looks like a rock formation. I'm no expert, but maybe give it a glossy, almost wet, lizzard look!
