Imagination will always lead to knowledge, while knowledge may not necessarily bring fourth imagination.

Ahh... I remember a LONG LONG time ago when I first joined this forum I made a thread saying that someone should do a Darth Maul model and low and behold... a year later I get my wish. lol

Can I give some constructive critisizm? if you like, you should make the horns less pointy. They aren't as sharp as you have them really and are more of a crooked and mared bone as shown in the image attached below...

looking forward to your progress!

found some images and uploaded them to a webpage on my site. (didn't want to use up SM's bandwidth...) There are four pictures plus the one I already uploaded on this page. The first one will take forever to load if you're on a 56k, but the others are small file sizes. Right-click to save of course. BTW, just a minor thing, but I believe Darth Maul is only 5' or at least not much taller than that. He's quite short really. Also, if you like, you might want to look up some facial images of Ray Park for reference as well because he's the actor/stuntman/martial artist who played as him. (has 7 blackbelts I think. w00t! lol)

Hope this helps you some...
