Hey Tim, looking great! Nice to see you're doing organic modeling too.

Looking forward to future updates, especially due to the amount of work you put into detailing!

one thing i can see wrong is the front shoulder at the top it is way to pronouced and sharp for me

it should flow more easily

other than that its good modelling

keep going


Now at SMU doing BSc 3D Computer Animation so its hard to get on here

Sorry about the huge delay guys, might be getting a bit of luck on the job front.

Did I tell you all about my interview at Red Bee Media?

Well I had an interview with a company called Red Bee Media, they were part of the BBC until they sold it of to another company but they still work within the BBC television centre.

Basically put they make all the graphics for BBC sport and other such programs.

Information graphics I think they called it.

So that sounds exciting.

Bit knackered as I have just come back from the nation Friends of the Earth conference in Nottingham (4-5 hours away)

Hopefully catch you later with an actual update.

Until then, have fun user added image

the head area is looking good tim user added image

not too sure about the squareness of the middle of the body though, the weight would be more rounded at the bottom. Those legs look a little basic too, I'd have thought that the feet would splay out a bit more to take the weight and the leg thickness could be played with. Just suggestions user added image
