Lookssick man. What did you render this with? I know you said the hair is Xgen, so was it rendered in Arnold? Also, is all of that hair in the beard the same color, or are there grays and other colors mixed in?
Absolutely beautiful. I've been learning Xgen and I'm envious of this right now, although it seems much easier to do short hair in Maya than the medium-length female bob I'm doing right now. Stellar work!
