Only one word ----> “AMAZING!!!” :eek:
About the RAMPAGE ARM, I wouldn´t like to meet this guy in a dark night…
Great Work!!!
Hey Thaddeus!
Great stuff, man. I’m with hairstyle A, it’s less common IMO…
cheers!
So far I like B the most. Although her eyes are creeping me out lol
Captain Sensible - thanks for ur input man! I appreciate it…
Am3D - ok thanks!
zipfelklatscher - thanks
goast666 - ok - shorter huh? thanks…
klausknuth - haha - thanks man - i appreciate the ref!
Irapas - thanks man!
Ville - ok - thanks!
nightwalker_j - thanks Matt -yea those were just placeholder textures from another model i slapped on…
Wow - well thanks for all the input guys! I really appreciate your opinions…
I think I’m going to end up tryin a bit of a mix of A and B for the hair - I still really like the shape and straightness of B - but I think I might try to lengthen it a bit and possibly just have a little waviness at the ends… but my personal preference tends to be towards straighter hair… hehe - but to each their own - right!?
Anyways - here’s an update on the texturing side of things…
There’s some stuff to the modeling i want to address also tho - cuz the eye shape is bugging me - need to finish that off and also the ears…
Well - looking forward to your input as usual.
Best regards

Her eyes look a little better now 
Do her eyebrows actually look like that though?
Keep it up The textures are looking better. Are you hand painting this one?
…“linguini hair”? 
dude it’s so on!!..you better start working out or take some karate classes 'cause in New Orleans I’m coming for ya…and its not gonna be pretty!
Ahem!..that aside, I kinda like hairstyle “A” though I was also wondering why not pushing the volume and the culrs of her hair a bit more?.. I’m honestly not too sure about giving her straight and shorter hair…I’m afraid that might ephatize the Eva Mendezsque “nose” a bit too much. 
Killer textures as usual! 
(…New Orleans,…me, you, it’s on.)
yea… nice… the shader is cool. which did you take ? Vray SSS?
an the eyes need more work. but small_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamond
she is looking lovely, nice feel to the skin, i like
nightwalker_j - thanks - mixture of hand paint and photos for this one…
Felice’sWorkshop - haha - BRING IT ON MACARONI ARMS!!! lol… nah - haha -can’t wait to see u at SIG man… thanks for the comments… altho i do kinda still prefer straight hair - i think it’s a personal pref… haha… but yea - i get wut u’re sayin and i think i will try to make some adjustments to it - kinda merge the 2 ideas a bit…
I look forward to kicking your @$$ soon!!! lol…
pitchepuck - Thanks man! It’s Maya Mental Ray Fast_SSS_Skin. Yep - workin on the eyes now… really appreciate the feedback! Great work on Hedgehog btw - one of my favs from the competition!
Ok - got a lil update for u guys - did some work on the eyes… still not quite there… but it’s coming along i think…
Gotta do some work on the hair now… ugh - i hate hair in 3D!! lol… any advice? haha…
Anyways - doubt i’ll be able to do any work till after the 10th - I am volunteering at a youth camp - so i’ll see u zbrushers after that!!

Ah man. If I was going this year Id bring some popcorn for while you and linguine go at it 
(Hey Felice)
Hair in 3d is a pain. One thing I try to do is to make broad flat strokes first to identify layers, flows and clusters of hair. Then I move onto the smaller strands for the details.
Hope this helps a little.
She’s looking real nice. If I ever develop a taste for bald women then I know it’s time to get out of doing CG! I’m not too sure about the colour of the eyes, but I think that’s more personal preference. Do you have any bump going on in the eye itself? Normally helps to break up the highlights and reflections. What are you gonna use to do the hair?
congratulation small_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamond it’s a very fine work 
Great Work!
nightwalker_j - not sculpting the hair man… real hair…
Captain Sensible - thanks dude… lol - yea - i think about the point when you start seeing topology on people and wondering what mental ray settings reality was rendered in - that’s when you really gotta get worried and turn off the computer and go outside! Exchange the monitor tan for a real tan… haha.
Haven’t done the bump for the eyes yet - but yea - i usually do that too - still have some more work I wanna do with the eyes…
The hair - I’m planning on just using Maya Paint Effects Hair - looks pretty good rendered in mentalray in 2009 - so I’ll try that…
HiPi - Thanks!
unigoodsg - thanks!
Ok - thanks for the comments guys - I really appreciate it… I’ll be gone for the week - volunteering at a youth camp - so no updates till after then most likely… but I am lookin forward to the break from 3d… altho i dunno if working with youths these days really qualifies as a break! haha… but it’s something to keep ya young at heart i guess!! lol.
Anyways - I’ll see u zbrushers in a week’s time again! Till then - keep practising ur Z-Fu skills!
Best regards,

Will do. Have fun I hope the children dont bite
nightwalker_j - thanks matt… nah no bites this time around… hehe
Ok - so I’m back now - just finished up the base meshes for the mechanical parts - just about to bring them into zbrush for some detailing - then I gotta get started on the game rez mesh and normal mapping…
More to come soon…
Looking forward to your comments as usual!

Design looking good, feels functional rather than just being a pile of detail that would not actually move or work, its fairly convincing design.
I think the head is too small and the abdomen area a tad bit too long. Everything else looks awesome. Is this the character that you did for the Action Hero challenge?
Looks good, looks functional. Any conflicts while rotating the wrist?
Man alive he looks awesome already. KEEP GOING!!
