Hey thanks. Yeah, the hat is giving me trouble, I keep having to fix it, I fear it may be corrupted. Yeah I know about the rubber glove, I always leave it like that until I get the rest of the guy done, how much body fat he has will change the thickness of his fingers, etc. The guy is more or less going to look like Hunter S Thompson, hence the freaking hideous hat. Amny who, since then I'm getting the torso squared away, and I fixed the nasty compound shoulder fracture he was sporting earlier, look at that distorted lump o meat

As far as the candle goes, I used fast skin. It looks right to me, except I need to increase the radius of the back ss. I'm more concerned about the stick, getting metal to look like actual metal is a major PITA.

Sorry bout big images, i'm using a widescreen, didn't think about the 4:3ers, my bad. These are just 640x480's
