i hear ya caligraphics - something definitely not right about knees and heels... they'll get some attention next.

still much to do - modeling arm, hand and neck area!

here's a wire frame to give a better idea...

okay, well, I've been working here on Good Friday and since I was making screenshots I thought I'd share the progress. Not really a tutorial, more of a illustration of how I solved the problems that came up. I didn't want to model a hand seperately and then attach it so I extruded straight from the shoulder. The arms are really just basic shapes with no detail added. For much of the modeling process I detached the hand so I could work on it as a seperate object.

C + C appreciated!
