toonshading (organic/ characters) 2004-02-20 - By tekano

I'd agree with Michael, and would also say that old man's face would be
possible to replicate - as long as it was modelled in a detailed mesh. Then
(to me) it looks like a simple 1 colour toon outline with no internal lines,
1 colour diffuse with no specular & 1 shadow color.
