Hello DeadHand
Welcome to SimplyMaya

Again, welcome to SM.

:D

ok, heres the test render....

and the wireframe...

and heres the reference piece thingy...

heres the latest render, added a mouth and eye holes and reworked the horns, still needs lots of work. This mesh is startin to make my computer bog down... ;o( oh, well...

heres another wire... any crits? or comments? I love to hear feedback on my work, it really keeps me going!:D I think i'm going to attempt using fur for the hair, never done it before, and I'm gonna start modelling the ear soon, never done that either, so wish me luck :p

heres a test render using mayas final gather.. watched the nifty video on aliaswavefronts website and decided to try it out, it works pretty good! doesnt take as long a global illumination which I like :D her face is split down the middle cause I havent merged the vertexes yet, but you get the picture. Any tips on texturing? Dont have much experience in that department...if anyone wants to try and texture her when im done, I'd be happy to email a scene file :p

Wow, that's GREAT!!!

OMG I just killed my project.... my head is spinning, how could I be so stupid?!?!?! I accidently saved my scene as a poly mesh for a render and lost the subdivision mesh... SONOFA!!!!!! crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap cra p capspr aspa rpwel f;kG aRGH! Back to the drawing board:banghead:
