[Virtuoso]

Nice updates.Coming along well.i like him,a fun to view character. I would make the belly even bigger,rounder,exxagerate a bit more.But that's just a taste thing.Overall I see some real good potential with him.Keep going with him.:beer:

[harly]

Poor giant, isn´t he cold without any clothes?

[swag]

@Virtuoso
i want him not to fat cause he have to fight trolls :) the belly shape is not in final stage so i think about - thanks for c&c

@puuuf
hehehe u can give him a push bra and a nice panty :)
the cloth is on the way - wait

[azazel]

Looks very good :thumbsup:
I like the way You use hierarchical sds, some nice clean meshes you got. And could You post some different angle?

[Virtuoso]

Yes you are right Swag........You got to be in shape for those Trolls.:beer: Keep going,like I said the potential is there,and what you already have is quite promising.:beer:

[Josephine]

Nice profile, has definite character already

[swag]

@azazel

[azazel]

Now I can say something more constructive ;) The body looks very good.fat is great. The head however does not match the body as well as it should. My suggestions are:
- soften the lower's lip lower edge, upper lip edge also, mouth corner
- change the shape of the eye to not so round, now he looks kinda scared, and, being a troll-figher, he shouldn't.
- if possible, make the chin bit smaller and forehead bit bigger, should look bit more menacing.
- generally try to make him not looking at something above, because this way he looks smaller, and he's a giant...

Keep it up,:wip: :thumbsup:

[swag]

@azazel
