Hi...did you work with CPS?
I'm not very good at head modeling at all but I can only
tell you that CPS is very nice to model one half of the head and then mirror it on the other side.

Cheers Geezer

Sorry not posted this week, its been a bit bizarre. I got head hunted for an animation job!!!! I just couldn't believe what I was hearing, the guy loved my models and animation and wants me to do his character stuff!!!!

Rock On!!! Gonna see him next week, to get the whole thing into perspective. Lots of decisions to be made. Unfortunately am unable to tell what it is as yet.

Doing the texturing on the guys head at the moment, want to have it all finished this week

Hey Dudes

The website should be finished within a week or 2, just depends on my friends time as he is currently on the job circuit getting interviews at the Hive and Rareware

But I'll keep you posted, dont worry, I have lots to scan and render for it.

Looking nice m8. Something about the nose and upper lip texture... i'm not sure what it is but its nagging at me. Just a little too uniform maybe? Bit more speckled ,if that makes any sense?
