Steve Argyle - Exotique 5 - Mastering the Digital Mastery of the Digital Masters
"Exotique 5: The Worlds Most Beautiful CG Characters" was published on July 1, 2010. The publisher offered a special half-hour tutorial video by Steve Argyle. The video has since been posted to youtube in three parts which describes the basic methods of designing a piece form scratch with emphasis on lighting, color, and of course some tidbits about PhotoShop wizardry. Here's links: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
