Hey Concord, that is not bad at all, once you add a bit of motion blurr like you suggest it will look very nice. Im glad to see the textures I sent you worked. Be my guess at changing the textures

About the head project, Im thinking more of a medieval type of helmet . I am not too happy with the head yet, something doesnt quite fit, im thinking the mouth. Before I start adding more details I need to get the overall shape/proportions right, and its not happening , the side view is bang on as far as matching the reference pics Im using though.

I love these challenges
