I did this for a Polycount monthly environment art challenge, and it is all based on a piece of concept art by Gray Shuko.

All of the meshes were made using 3ds max, and all these screenshots are running in Unity 3d. I had only been using 3ds max for a few days before starting this project, so I tried to keep things relatively simple, using a few tile-able textures for almost everything, no normal maps, etc. 

If you'd like to look around a bit more, here is a Unity 3d web player of the scene:

The first two pictures are zBrush 'Best' renders, the head mesh has 4.127mil points (the eyeballs are just placeholders, the final meshes were made entirely in Maya/Photoshop). 

The third and fourth pictures are Maya viewport 2.0 screengrabs, both with textures and with the wireframe/default material. The head mesh here is 4045 verts (or 6763 verts including the eyeballs, teeth, gums, eyelashes and eyebrows).

A playblast of my self-portraity head model in Maya 2015. This is my first time doing blendshapes/face animations and they are mostly to show how nicely the topology deforms. I made the base mesh in Maya, did the hi-poly sculpting in zBrush, and made the textures with Photoshop.

This is actually the second subdivision level, but if I needed a lower vertex count it would be quite easy to add some loops to the lower subdivision and re-project everything.

Since this is just a portfolio piece, the teeth and gums are quick placeholders and I haven't made a tongue or done anything with the inside of the mouth.

I can't embed the HD video, so go here for that: https://vimeo.com/110032409
