Well i also have this link where you can get a free zbrush model and the model looks really good and has been worked on to about 5 million polys so you realize how much detail it has, also check the zbrush central site where the first link was because it has hundres of reference images https://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/sho...d.php?t=061792

was gonna say.... you dont see anyone modelling non muscular people on the forums... always slim and tough :p

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

OK... this thread is starting to get a bit creepy.. LOL

Well, I decided to start work on my topless Alien. I pretty much just modeled the head (based on my concept) except with a few feature changes, as some things were pointed out that needed a bit of a re-work.
I then just welded it to a re-worked Torso model, and then did a fair bit of tweaking.

Anyway, heres what I have so far:

Oh, and ignore the Tris on his neck. There just scares from his body transplant user added image

will fix them later.

Thanks for the comments thus far.

Thanks guys/gals

Most appreciated!

It's ashame you like the body so much. I'm actually going to be changing it... make it look a bit more Extraterrestrial. To better match the head, as suggested by a friend.

More updates tomorrow... hopefully user added image

Cheers!
