Ok heres my first post after a few hrs work. Its really hard making it look like Forrest Gump, getting that innocence in his expression.

Does this look like Tom Hanks ?

wow, looking great already...no crits as of now

[Seven]

Thanks for the confidence :)

[proudclod]

wow, looks like tom already!! great job! Though... toms hair spread over the whole top of his head, the hair on your model looks like a mohawk...

edit: on another look, it might just be the angle, i think i can see it..

Update.

Ive worked on the head more, still trying to nail down the Tom Hanks look :). I very roughly just stuck a photo of Tom Hanks on my model to see how it would look. Obviously not the final texture :D

Anyway Im pleased with how its coming along.

The lower side is definitaly good shapewise. His forehead is a bit too broad in my opinion. I also think the inner points of his head are too deep.

Good going though

Thats Tom! great start :)

The profile looks good but from the front I think the face is too narrow

[Seven]

Update. I modeled the body today. Its not optimised but I like how its going so far.

Imagine the head up there /\ with this body :)

He is way to narrow over the shoulders.

Usually the width of the shoulders should be about three heads wide.

Buck you are definatly correct. So ive improved the anatomy, done a first pass at tidying up the mesh and for fun did this :)

Shoulders arnt quite right and the hands are not posed. Was quickly done but I couldnt resist. hehe

Life is definatly like a box of chocolates :)

The texture of the face looks a little warm. Also, Tom's neck seemed really skinny in the movie, giving him a bird-like quality. Your model's neck looks like a normal person's, but not like Forrest Gump's.

[Seven]

Well ive finished it. Its not perfect and if I did it again there are things id change :)

Ive got to move onto other projects now.
