Wow - this is looking awesome - I really like the way that you are working - sketching everything in fast and then going back over to refine. This has got a great style to it already.

Good work mate. user added image

Thanks Arran for the great compliment I really appreciate it.

Couldn't do any more work on her today. My Uncle came into town and we had a last minute barbecue.

So tomorrow will definitely be a work day.

Stay Tuned

33 Days and counting....

Update 16:

Made some more mods...

Most notably feet vs. shoes.

I dont know, the shoes look like they give the contrast in porportions better than the feet do.

Ill think on it.

Made adjustments to the alignment of the body.

Fixed shirt issues.

Thanks guys for the comments, its really appreciated.

Esion: The current hair is just a place holder right now. The hair she will have will be much more realistic. And the dog is definitley on the way.

My plans for the rest of the week.

1. I should be finished with modeling her today.

2. Do the dog tomorrow.

3. Start on car and finish car on Thursday.

4. Finish modeling building. Friday.

5. Start on texturing this weekend.

Looking good mate - the only thing that I am not sure about is the size of her nose. I realise that she is suppossed to be cartoony, but even so, it just seems to be taking over her face at the moment. user added image
