Looking good rotbol. I like how you were able to keep the complexity down on your low poly version while still getting nice details. Keep up the good work!

I generally get the eyeball size the way I want, place it on the head, and position the eye socket around it to make it fit.

rotbol, for the hands and ear, which I have already done for my model, I used the joan of arc tutorial and I think they came out well.

https://www.3dtotal.com/ffa/tutorials.../joanmenu.asp#

Have you done a hand and ear before? When I made those for my model it was my first time doing them and I was apprehensive to start, but once I started to see some nice results I realized it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be.

Looking forward to the updates.

Thanks ransick user added image

i really cant take credit for the cps head tutorial as i didnt make it.

caligraphics was the maker of that tutorial.

anyways.. I dont plan on making any tuts just yet.. i'm still just learning user added image

the great masterplan is to model, texture, rig, create morph targets and pose or animate her.. the whole package!

lets see how far i get LOL
