Very nice piece! Red paint (or blood lol) on skin looks so good!!!!! I tried it on my guy, but I probably should have been a little more bold with it. Before reading this advice know that I am pretty inexperienced so take what I say with a grain of salt. You could increase the blur of the leather edge mask just a bit, and reduce the contrast between the bright and dark browns to get rid of that procedural look. The pedestal should be a little less noticeable as you generally want the eye to focus on the face/upper body of the character. Maybe decreasing the brightness of the reflections just a small amount could help. The torn white t-shirt could be darkened just a little bit and you might adding some dirt might help it not stand out so much. Also try using a rougher value on the gold parts Despite all this do what you think is best regardless of what I say. Sorry for so much text I am not the most concise writer lol, Good luck!
Ooh! it is almost alive..great textures and contrasts. Only those pesky metal parts would need some more love (some roughness and variations) and the leather belt too- could have some color detail variations on the straps..if you do not mind. But great work.
Hah, haven't checked back in a while, didn't expect the tribal paint choice but, I'm loving the piece! Excellent texturing! Got a little bit of Ironman going on there in the chest I see needs leds xD, just kidding. Awesome dude! The man looks like he's a total master over his realm. "Plebs, make way!"
The Time Keeper was created by the God, Hephaestus, as an autonomous clock, whose duty it is to forever monitor the passage of time. As eons passed and belief in Hephaestus and other Gods faded, the Time Keeper attempted to remake itself as a human. Without the skill of his creator, he became more beast than man. The ghastly looking beast, with only love in its heart, marked our triumphs, our joy, our delights. But not fully able to change itself to man, the Time Keeper also marked our heartaches, our pain, our failures. Every precious moment is loaned to us by the Time Keeper and so the beast must solemnly wait for the instant he must take it back.
I was waiting to see you final submission, and I was not disappointed. Good luck with your contest, and thank you for the feedback I have seen you spread around these forums myself and to other contestants.
Really nice design, glad to see this one finished, the cane looks like a key, sorry if you mentioned that but to me a cool looking key, nice story and presentation also. Didn't expect the red bits as others have said a nice surprise thrown in.

The break part on his belt is a little bit too regular maybe. I Can't wait to see more
@fantasymaster an update is forthcoming!

But I think the metal material looks too shining~(reflections)
