Update time again, been busy working on better loops. Think i've ironed out most of them. Gona redo the eye loops little more as I want to include proper blinkable eyelids.

Well had a few distractions come up but I'm back at Mr Alien. Had a few problems finding and removing n-sided polys. All sorted now, BIG thanks to Vladimirjp and Dannyngan.

Not alot obviously done, took a few attempts at a ear i'm happy with and a few other tweaks.

hey Lonepig,

that looks really good and throughout an exact replica of your "well cool" picture, looking forward to the rest mate, have you thought about the eyelids going from left to right? just as a spin on the norm!

cheers - Murph.

Thanks Murph, I have been mentally playing with the idea of horizontal eyelids as something good and freaky and its something i'm still not sure on. I'm gona work on the hands and feet for a while and come back to them after some serious head scratching.

I am planning on having strips of skin between the lips, kinda like when Neo is being interogated by Agent Smith in The Matrix, so they stretch and deform as he speaks. Thats gona have me busy for a while as well.
