heya folks. here's an attempt of mine to model a troll from the good old/diabolical(choose your pref user added image

) blizzard's world of warcraft. i used a wow figure as a reference but didn't follow it in a too detailed manner.
there's still some modelling to do and obviously a whole lotta texturing. it's my first fairly serious attempt at character modelling so any feedback is ofc welcome.
oh and i had a topic with a guitar model a few months ago that i promised to texture but eventually failed at it, i guess i'm still colorblind in text. department, so apologies there user added image

cheers

looking good if you want responds you should put a pic of him i wire frame mode

how did you learn to put him in that stance ( I mean which tut and so on)

maybe some thing that holds the shoulder pads would bee nice user added image

tnx for the input mate user added image

i guess i didn't put a wire frame up cause there's not a lot of modelling to go. there weren't major issues along the way and the surface came out pretty much clean so i was planning on putting some textures in there asap. as far as the stance goes, that figure i mentioned was actually the only ref/tutorial i used user added image

took a couple of reference photos and added details by looking at it/screen. not very professional/accurate but it served me fine user added image

good call on the shoulders, i'll put in some kind of straps to hold those user added image

cheers

Okay ^^ i would suggest you modle your future characters standing in the "normal" way because it looks like you used a lot of time here and if you then l8ter wanna rig it it will bee difficulty when he stands like this

here is my characters and how I would suggest you model in the future ^^(dont think i a jerk it is in a good will ^^)
btw i also just finished the frank tut

aye, it's true what you say with character poses and the difficulty later on, but i had/have no plans to animate this model when i decided to do it. and since the figure i've used as a reference was in this pose, doing it any other way would take significantly more time.
