I would really like to see a low poly view.



The model shows much character. Good lip structure, good character. Skin is well. How did you texture it in Maya without the UV Texture Editor?



Good potential. Have you done any other work similar to this?

hi , thanks for reply, i use a layer texture , use a cloud texture with 20-30% transparency, and a base colour paint in 3d texture tools for those shadow area .... a noise texture for bump map , and use 3d texture tools to paint the specular map.... thats all.. but i would rather know better how to make a nice uv in maya or LW, coz i m not bad in Drawing, i think i can make the texture better in PS or painter..... but too bad i always make the uv wrong....

I really enjoy your modelling. Thanks for putting up the mesh of the character. It seems as though some edges around the nose can be removed and are not really necessary. Ears are well done, and good detail. Mouth is good etc.




Have you given any though to the creation of a body for this character?



Keep up the good work.
