Hello,
For this image, i try to make a kind of "samourai+viking" warrior.
I have made the high poly with zbrush, then baked the normal map with 3dsmax. The final low character have 8700 faces. For the textures i use photoshop. For the render, it's just a scanline with max (six spots was used)..then i do a light color balance with photoshop.
You can also see the wire,normal,texture and design in my portfolio.
