There is a tutorial done by Dave Komorowski @
https://thehobbitguy.com/tutorials/polymodeling/
This actually reminded me of it.
I tried the tutorial but my model didn't work out how i wanted it to.
I prefer video tutorials because u get to see everything thats happening.
How long did this take to model and what process did u take to model it.

dave's tut is a good tutorial for beginners. but his modeling technique is not the best.
i started with a simple 2x2 plane then kept extruding. i find that way to be very fast and accurate.
just find a way you are comfortable with then practice it.
and its also a good idea to not model pixel for pixel,
and use the perp view more than ortho's. viewing the mesh in persp give a better idea of how the volume sits on the mesh.
good luck. i should update soon.

only ref i try to use when i model for personal projects are refs that sort of make sure the anatomy fits.Originally posted by Anhslaught
do you use picture reference or is it all in your head as you extrude?
all the rest i make up as i go and extrude along the way.
this lets me be free when i model, not bound by a reference image.

Everything else looks really amazing, but the ear makes me pause for a second. Anyway, just my opinion. I didn't change much but I hope the paintover is at all useful.
Keep up the good work, man. Your work is quite inspirational :bow:

Q: Did u extrude the edges around the neck of the head down and just kept on extruding to model the upper body?
U should start a portfolio or something maybe with some walkthroughs of your work and maybe some tutorials.
I think i speak for everyone on this site when i say that ur work is dam good.
