Hmm, I believ the face is sculpted as relief on the banner and that is why it appears different from many angles. (?)

Even if the face was a relief on the banner it wouldn't look like this. Compare the first and the third pic.
I don't think a sculpted relief can look so different with such a small change of the angle unless the sculpt would be stretched. But if it were streched it would look bad on other angles and it doesn't.

I think he found a way to work a 3D image into the banner. You know those postcards where the image changes depending on what angle you look at it? Something like that, but on a smaller scale maybe...

I was originally checking eyes only, not the whole face you're absolutely right ToMaZ
anyway, don't ask for theory or tutorial, but such effect is surely not the new one. I think that Mona Lisa is always looking at the viewer, no matter what the angle. This of course does not make Olivier's work less impressive. I can only

I should have made my description a bit clearer

That's what I was thinking too. And it's not only the Mona Lisa (but I think she was the first), pictures have it too when a person is photographed while looking directly in the lens (better seen on big pictures)

It's all very impressive indeed, and it really got me wondering on how he achieved that

Oh, pretty cool news this time. And I saw one of them in person

I really like jarhead's eldar model i think it looks awesome but i have to admit the top of the ruffle/hair bit looks a bit unfinished.

I like the scratchbuilt duel thingy too, the detail is really good.

I far as I remember that duel is a scene from Warhammer on line game.
Before last year`s GD the were introducing the game.

yep, the game was being introduced the last year, but the duel was entered this year in Germany
