Really fantastic work man, you're pulling it off beautifully! I like the one on the left more where you can't see his eyes... makes him a bit more mysterious. Keep it up

Incredibo, frostsnake, neolith the foliage for that test has been done by first modelling into the main mesh a clump / lump shape for the basic shape of the underlying trees, moss and other vegitation, I have then overlayed in layers single planes with an alpha opacity map for the leaves, the layers of them to give a feeling of depth, these canopy planes have been twisted and rotated slightly to provide different lighting effects and to fake 'clumps' of foliage sticking out in different directions. I still have issues that from certain angles the flat planes become too apparent, so will be developing the idea further
