Looks like good...

But if you didn't say us it was moff tarkin I think we cannot recognize him. It needs a little work on the face.

And what was that little update you showed, it can be me or there is nothing changed?

But keep up the good work!

Great start! But I have two suggestions . .

1) Didn't he have less hair? I thought I remember him somewhat balding.

2) I think his head was a little less wide.

Still, this is really good lookin' stuff.

y does tarkin have the pencils on both sides or even at all?? Skin looks good but i think tarkin's facial structure is what distinguishes him

doesn't look like tarkin but looks good... to look a little more like tarkin make the cheeks more sunken in.... and get rid of the "pencils" they are crap, other than that it looks great!

Your going to have to change the model's head if you ever dream of wanting it to look like Tarkin. Tarkin as pertruding cheek bones. Plus his hair kind of puffed out like as if he's head is shaped kind of like an alien...or something.

Try using the Jedi model instead of the Galak model. With the Jedi model, you can turn off the main 'hair' piece

It's good, but probably needs a different head, with less hair and thinner, gaunter cheekbones and chin.

You just don't have a good model for Tarkin. The face is way to broad!
Although its quite a nice skin

Tarkin did have thinner hair, it's a good skin and all, but it looks like more of a disco version of Tarkin.

Those 'pencils' are code cylinders, for access or identification purpose, I believe. However, they were in a left breast pocket thingy, not at the arm pits. And only on the one side. The skin looks good, but as was stated, the model and face need work to make it look like tarkin. I would keep the textures and release it as a new officer model, too, but definately re work the model and textures for a tarkin.
