Texturing Character Model 'Yin'

Using a mix of colour, normal and alpha maps made in Photoshop, I textured my Yin character model. Creating the feathered headpiece was the most tedious task, as each feather was individually placed. I plan on merging the feather geometry into one object to make the skinning process easier. The feathers can also be recycled and used on my Gin character model.

Above, a core body render of Yin. The feathers around his poncho were created using a piece of ring shaped geometry and an alpha map.
