Don't get me started on Natalie Portman, shes fine. Anoying in Star Wars but sort of fit in Leon.

I figure cos I was around the same ages (sort of) when I watched it theres nothing wrong with that.

As always Jay, your work is PURE CRAP!!! user added image

Yeah Closer was awesome in every way... Haven't seen Garden State yet, but a friend of mine says it's the best movie he's ever seen, so I'd better check it out sometime soon

and more praise, also looking forward to seeing you model the hair for the sake of learning.

how long you been modeling? How long has this one taken?

matte painting??Morel. Looks like I'll be looking for info on that, heard of it of course, can talk about it (blah blah) but haven't a clue what it is really, it's basically photoshop stuff isn't it?, or do I start a thread on this?. What a learning curve this art form is..,

by the way, from what I remeber there is reflected light around the corner of the nostril area too. makes sense when you think about it. The reflected light at the lower bridge area of the nose is light reflected from the eye balls.

take it easy and life will be easy

nice going jay, definately some natalie in there now user added image

The hip area is bothering me, I think the line from the pubic mound (ahem) to the hip bone is too extreme.
Here's a very quick pic showing that the leg crease might be better at a shallow angle (with a slight curve along the stomach edge).
The visible hip bone looks in the right place though user added image
