Thanks Killerbee user added image

, how are you liking the fundamentals book? Any good? Anyways what I wanted to show people is the little bit of darkness around the eye that i added to give it a more evil look. I did this with UV mapping then took a snapshot and painted in PS user added image

. Nothing major, dont know if you could of done this another way, but it worked.

thanks a lot kurt! I have been playing around with the legs abit and i think its too, well i dont know.. i will work it out later. but it just doesnt seem right (the small bricks around the leg braces.) Well heres my newest image at the moment, its 8:30 pm here so i am going to take a bit of a break from this and come back and start on the arms user added image

. Once i have the arms i can put him into some cool poses (at the end). The brown is still temporary and the gold probably will change, seeings its not too realistic. It was a slight change from my original design, is this ok?

Heheh, me either garry user added image

. I think he would swipe off my head, lol. Anyways, blocky hands for me are not easy to model, they dont cooperate and vertex's go alll over the place when you try to apply bend modifiers. I tried to clear it up and heres a shot of his hand, which has multiple colors on it at the moment after needing those to select faces. lol this is what has taken me almost all day. Now i will attatch it and add details on the golem until its finished for my level user added image
