Project I did based on the incredible work of Rafa Souza

Very super work! Well done.

Looks realistic! What specimen of hominid is this?

This looks great. One thing that stands out to me is the teeth could use some SSS.

I took several references, there are literally dozens of species, it's scary to see that there are so many, there is a pair of brothers who dedicate themselves to making accurate artistic representations of hominids, they are called Kennis brothers, it's worth checking out!

Wow! Good tip!

Can you talk about your shader setup? Curious what types of texture inputs you're using for the skin, specular, SSS, etc.

Nothing special really, specular, normal, diffusion, roughness, native sss (in this case there was no map)

sick work, are all of the fine details hand sculpted or did you use something like zwrap? Looking to get into this soon myself

I used zwrap and scan, believe it or not, using a ready-made scan and designing its details is extremely easy, and generates an incredible result, but of course knowing how to sculpt these details is also very important in some cases, but the scan will always be more authentic, because it is taken 100% from something real, in this case you can make a comparison with Marvelous, learning to use fold simulation programs is necessary, but knowing how to sculpt these folds by hand is even more important in my opinion, even if you are not going to sculpt several folds from scratch every day, knowing how to do this is a big differentiator, even to have more visual reference to know what is good and what is bad.

These wrinkles are amazing, they look really good!

It's not clear from the original post, but are you up for critiques?
