Thanks for the comments guys. The bump is definitely over the top, but the client liked it very much so it stayed. And although I'm usually not a fan of too strong bumps, I have to admit I kinda like it here. :)
@Rhodesy:
I googled "statuario classico" which is what that particular type is called. ;) I found a semi-decent one somewhere and photoshopped the s#it out of it.
