Also, no complaints here, you more over just pointed out the fact I didn't use 1024x512 like how you told me to. Which I think is more of a preference thing really. Just cause it may fix some mapping glitches here and there doesn't mean EVERYONE should use them, and it's not like everyone does use it really. People here using 512x512 and still make great heads. If I want to make a head in 512x512 it shouldn't bother you, don't address it and maybe point something else out.
if you can't or don't want to get the mapping right is a glaring issue in what you do.
and if you don't want to address it - it's your problem. don't ask me to turn a blind eye on the most important aspect of texturing.
why do you even care what everyone/not everyone is doing? your mapping is WAY off. and instead of actually focusing on getting it right, you do whatever the hell you do and expect cnc on that? really?...
if this texture was for me i would have told you this: "redo it, make the mapping right and show again"
what's the point in shading/colours if you can't get the shape?
the most fundamental aspect of texturing is correct mapping, if you don't want to care about the mapping - don't do textures - do art.
for me as a reviewer i don' care how you do your textures 512x512 or 1024x512, only the end result matters, and the end result is the same as before
so far, you seem to be systematically unable to get the mapping correctly, which is the most fundamental part of texturing.
and worst of all, you are refusing to address it and ask us to turn a blind eye on it
i would have turned down this texture if it was for me, and told you to re-do it until the mapping is right, plain and simple,
if you are offended by people pointing out your weak sides, then don't ask for cnc,
if you don't want to be bothered with the mapping - don't do textures, do art
practice your mapping to get it right first, and only after mastering it, move on to colors/shading
again, nobody cares if you do it 1024 or 512, only the end result matters

Like I said using a 1024x512 res is more over a thing of preference, meaning if people wanna use them, let them, and if they don't, let them.
Also don't go us, you're literally the fourth person till this day that has pointed it out to me, you wanna be bothered by something I prefer to use, so be it. It's not like I ignore all the cnc I get, but if it's personal preference then let me do what I wanna do in this, it's not like it's mandatory I use that resolution. I ask for cnc on multiple things not only on my thread, through discord, through TAU, and pm'ing good artists (that use 512x512 aswell fyi go scold them too). It's very rarely anyone ever addresses the resolution, and when they do they brush it off cause it's the art on it that matters the most, it's not like I mapped it entirely wrong and left his eyes at the wrong spot.
Although I've seen some pieces in 1024x512 I didn't really spot much of a difference, I agree on it fixing some bugs here and there 512x512 resolution heads have, it isn't all too different.
look, i really don't care what resolution do you use, the mapping is off, it needs to be fixed, how you do it - up to you.
heads are stretched, it's a fact, not a preference, if you don't see it or ignore it - it's on you. i see it - i tell it. that's cnc

Hey flyingmonk 2.0, chill out.
R0i, your mapping is alright. The eyes and face are well proportioned, but the wrinkles on the forehead were too straight and didn't feel like an old man. The skin still felt like plastic, you definitely need to bring more colour variants into your skin. Your robot part is really well done, and I can tell you're experienced at it. I highly suggest working with 1024x512. It'll really help with those horizontal lines. Good work my dude!

hey uh... i think he has something against your mapping
i wish there was a rule for redundancy when criticizing. just a note for you snake: a reviewer is less credible when hes saying the same thing over and over. keep it to the point unless you have other things that irk you.
true, criticism doesnt mean a compliment, however remember it needs to be CONSTRUCTIVE. (heh, i did the caps thing like snake does to make it look really important). telling him he's doing something wrong is completely different than telling him how to fix it and how to avoid the mistake. saying "do 1024x512 to fix it" is not helpful.
anywho, since its the subject, im going to also address it. rumaging through everything that was said, i dont think anyone told you specifically what was wrong with your mapping.
theres a template for head textures that im sure you have. its labled front and back. typically the middle of the "front" circle will be your focal point. the horizontal perspective is spot on in my opinion, however i personally wouldve raised the face a smidgen, and then the entire head up. youll generally want a balance of space between the top and bottom of the texture
also
