I have been practicing my model detailing with alphas here of late. It isn't a new technique for me (I have done it on many models in the past) but after having watched Aaron Sims alpha modeling DVD I was given new inspiration. His work flow helped to emphasize a few things for me so I put my newfound energy into some practice. It's nice (as an amateur) to get validation on your workflow from watching the "pros". It helps to bolster confidence. That's always a good thing!

These are both oder models. The goblin had some detail work already but I found it to be a bit flat so I worked on it some more. The undead guy is something I have been tinkering on for a while now... he is intended to be an Undead Rogue ala World of Warcraft inspiration. I used a number of the alpahs from Aaron's - Gnomon Alpha Tutorial DVD. I really like those alphas. I have a ton of alphas but I found those to work exceptionally well. I probably over-did it a little on the alpha work :P but I doubt these two chaps would complain overly much. :lol:

Cool work on the alphas. I'll have to try this sometime.

hi Mentat7! Long time no see!

I am digging the undead guy. Specially love the cracks in the teeth which fit perfectly...most folks forget those with undead characters...hahaha perfect teeth on some rotting corpse always makes me laugh.

Anyway... looks like I am gonna have to save my pennies for that dvd!

Nice to see ya around again.
