July/Aug - Norm (been here too long to be a noob still) - CKYUK

Maybe if i keep entering these challenges i'll finish one someday.

This is going to be really hard to pull off as i can't model heads very well let alone give put expressions on their faces. But the idea is to have a kid coming around the corner by his house late at night, hoping to sneak in and get to bed unoticed when he catches sight of his mother stood in the open doorway staring straight at him.

Although i haven't really had time to start any modelling between writing my CV and looking for a job, i have been having a play with lights and materials in an attempt to recreate the look of a dark street with only the moon and a few street lights. Here's what i've got so far. As you can see it still needs alot of work so any tips would help.

btw, the model isn't for the challenge, it's just a head i had from a worked on recently based on an image from jango's site 3doutlaws.com.
