What it First looked like as just my photo reference as the skin:

http://www.thevon.net/fishy.jpg -9.jpg are the steps I took as I showed some of my friends the process. Take a gander nothing great though.

If I were to do it again I'd UVW map the mouth for shits and giggles and given him some narly teeth or something. Hope you enjoyed my presentation.

ps. I'd appreciate it that if all you want to say is "photoskin" that you dont post. I spent hours painting over the reference picture to get a look I wanted. Not one pixel was not edited by me in some manner. The bump map was my first one and its not just a desaturated diffuse map. Rather I went in and picked out details I wanted to show. So again, refrain from calling it a photo skin beause a lot of effort went into this.
