yea i think i need to pull the torso in a little, at the moment it is about as wide as the breasts are, but they should be overhanging a little on the sides. Hahaha nothing wrong with a big bust, could over exaggerate like crazy, make it a smothering bust.

Looking good Ozgalis, I think the mouths edge flow could be done better check out the topology section(the outer mouths edge loops should be going up to the nostral area)............dave

The hands need scaling up Oz...they should be as big as your face...females I dont think would be different. If you put your own hand, where the wrist meets the palm...on your chin then spread them out your hand area should cover your face. Same with the feet...wrist point at heel foor should be 1 1/2 hands long...there abouts. There are some human scale PDF's on the net...have a look.

Took your advice and resized the hands and feet a little, also think i finally got the hip problem solved, just needed to spend some time on it. Any crits welcome, I am going to fix the calves and do some more facial work and then bring it into Z i think.
