Thanks @locololo
Hand drawn art was how i started out, long time ago.
the Iray settings thing isn't as big a deal as you may think, some simple changes to the lighting bloom, a tweak to the translucency of the skin, and added some gloss to the skin really made it pop. the G2 skin always looked doll like to me, same with some G3 models also....so i did the google expert thing and started looking up ways to improve it, and that test render was the result.
