Hey Pony

Yeah looks good. I think you could cut in some detail around the nostrils and eyes so you can get some wrinkles and stuff in there as its just a little bit like a bone china ornament, you know, have another 10 pence

All the best

Jango, yep it does. Happy with some details now and done fighting with a reformat. Thoughs details comeing up next.

UV map up so can see what I was up to more. Redid some becouse of not enough texture. Wanted MORE pixels on body.

nicely done. Interesting. You surely are putting lots of time and effort into this. It is wonderful to watch the progress.

All great projects succeed one step at a time. One lone step firmly placed.

Man! I wish I could texture like you brother! I am learning fanatically right now going through the tutorials. I would love to know how long you have been doing this bec your models (both this and your wip) are so clean. Keep it up and I soooo wanna see this finished.

dark-link its just a file texture, Used to spot UV streaching. I got it from dannys tool's, at www.Dannyngan.com. You can make and use your own also in photoshop, I just found dannys to be the ticket.
