Hi there. First of all I'd like to thank Lunatique, for his posing tips, since I believe he helped make this image a lot better, Ian Joyner for being born, and Paul Hormis, for being an excellent teacher. You guys surely helped me.

This is my photorealistic attempt of Hoshigaki Kisame from NARUTO, as I invisioned him to be in our real world.

Like my previous Zabuza image, I made this one with one objective, to make a good desktop wallpaper, that I'd like to have on(and It is the one i currently have set).
Knowing this, the making of the actual image was pretty fast. It took me 5 days to make it from start to finish, being the last 2 days pretty much for photoshop only.

The actual image was rendered at 1280x960 using Brazil, a pretty large image(each render time per layer was about 15 to 25 minutes), rendered in several separate layers. Just for shadows and occlusions I probably have 6 different passes.
It is incredible the ammount of detail the image loses from 1280x960 to 1024x768. I had to put a bit of a unsharp mask on the lower res one in order to restore some of the detail that was lost. A pity indeed.
