The second one is a little bit from an upper angle because I have a strange feeling that in first picture the abdomen is not so visible.

And of course the six-th one is for those who's curious to see the wire of the character.

From now one I'll go for facial modeling.
Brrr... when I'm thinking that I have to model the eyes... and ears...
You know...
There are a lot of details and it's a meticulous process.
Well... I will came with new updates later when I did something at her face... user added image

See you soon...

very nice progress - nice feet and hands!

between the shoulder and the bicep there is usually some space in the form of an indentation. Try taking it in a little there and near the elbows to give the arms a little more definition.

As you can see, I tried to model this character as low in poly count as I could.
It helps a lot later when you rigg the model for animation... and especialy in animation.

thanks. your a good guy !.. yeah I was like tucking under a cuple of verts to get a real good edge till I figered out that a nother edge real close dose just as good. just like you have..

I think its a good way. it helps keep in polys, and keep the count low. if I was in subD's just for smothing it would kill my CPU. would be going to watch a movie to kill time, every time I wanted it..
