    Looking good. I would give him a longer chin area and squeeze his head together just a tad. Ill be keeping an eye on this one for sure. He is one of my favorite anime villians.

    They are actually making a movie of this at Warner Brothers. It doesnt have a script yet, but they acquired the rights just recently. Hopefully they dont try to make it too commercial. Although i dont think they will have as much sex and violence in it. I think this would easily be a good fit for Tarantino.

    Keep up the good work.

    That is looking really good so far. Only thing I would suggest is to give him more jagged and flattened surfaces, just to give more the effect he's made of rock. You are probably gonna do that anyways. But it's looking solid so far. no pun intended. heh.

    hey guyz,

    heres update
    tesss.jpg

    DAnconia: thanx for the advice mate, i squashed the face together a bit, think i might need to do it a bit more though and elongated the chin slightly, and yeah i heard bout a movie in the works, fingers crossed, but i think we both know it will get screwed up

    wethand: LOL!, nah ur right, ninja scroll , ta mate

    mkk316: yeah, thats kind of where im up to atm i think, i just dont want him to look too alien i guess, if im right, its only his skin that turns to rock, ill try some stuff on a layer and post it up, its gonna b tricky to get what i want, thanx for the reply

    billrobertson42, mad_frankie: thanx guyz
