The parallel light used gives this impression.

Actually, he has quite a good expression, but at this
distance/resolution it does not come out clearly.

Perhaps another light might solve the problem. I'm still not sure if he 
is walking or flying. That could be the point, though; artistic license.

It looks like the default Don expression in Poser5. I look at the 
JPG2000 version of course. It's a neat start, though! I was just 
thinking -- some specular highlights on the wings might really be cool 
too. And maybe some stickers on the briefcase that says what dimensions 
he has been to or something. :-)

Far from it. A lot of tweaking went into getting the expression as I
wanted it. Again, tho, the image does not show it off well.

I see from the side-by-side comparison that you have squashed the head a 
bit (or broadened it) and shortened the nose. You've obviously changed 
the eyes (which really give him that otherworldly look - nice!) Okay, 
I'm convinced -- there was tweaking. Don comes with that default smug 
look. Maybe a twist up of the lips and a raised eyebrow will give him 
even more of a smirk and bring him more to life. Nice start to this 
image, though! I really like the concept too -- you tend to come up with 
some very creative concepts.

Cheers.

Start? That's it - no more.

 I would say he is walking. The step pattern looks right to me, and
the wings don't look active.

Can you estimate how far he is from the ground (water?) based on this 
picture? (Actually, a reflection might help there!)

I like these "thoughtful images".  I'd like to know the authors "rationale"
behind the image!
