Here we go again! This was a fun project, loved it! Can't talk about the story, but he's supposed to be a chauffeur who's drinking 50 cups o' coffee a day, has ADHD, barely gets any sleep and is completely paranoid (just imagine all the fun situations he'd have with his passengers! ).

Hope you guys like good ol' Basil. He's quite a trainwreck, but he has a good heart!

I also uploaded the game-res model and the colormaps for people to study it, use it for rigging tests, for polishing their (facial) acting skills, etc. - You can do pretty much whatever you want with it, except using the model for commercial purposes. I'd not mind seeing him in demoreels at all though, in fact, I'd love that

Here's the zip file that includes the model and the textures:

And I also did a quick Anzovin Face Machine Test (which is a Maya plug-in full of pure awesomeness):

Tools: I used Maya for modeling, ZBrush for sculpting, Photoshop for painting and Topogun for Retopo.
