character: 2nd attempt at head

[JetroPag]

Looking good so far. The shadows look a bit odd, but well... This is wip.. I also noticed a strange bump just above the nose. I'm not a human anatomy specialist, but i think that the bump shouldn't be there.

All in all, great work!
:thumbsup:

[Syrogen]

thanks JetroPag! the shadows are messed becuase of the shadowmaps.. or something :S i still dotn know exactly. those bumps above the nose are from the eyebrows hehe

nice start, love the expresion, sort of a menacing stare,

crit -1. the ear hole, in the side veiw the hole looks huge.
2. the ear might be higher than it should be by about 0.5 -1 cm but this might be cause your charachter is looking slightly down, are you using a reference pic? also what package is it in?

great start tho

[Syrogen]

hey thanks for pointing out the ear problem baaah888, by the way im using lightwave.. and the ref i used is

not a dead on replicate because i had to ajust the facial expression

[Tikisan]

its lookin nice..cept for the ear...looking at your reference pictures...the ear is a bit bigger than it should and i agree with baaah about the ear needing to be a little lower...normally its between the eye and bottom of the nose...and there seems to be a dent behind the ear or is that just the messed up shadowmap?...keep updating:thumbsup:

[Syrogen]

yeah Tikisan, thats a weird bug in the shadow map :S
thanks for the crit guys! updates soon ( i hope)

[JasonA]

its looking pretty good :) Can't think of any crits, maybe its time to start an upper torso. or texture this guy's head. He already strikes me as a military marine or something..

nice work!

[dominicqwek]

more like a war torn sergeant major !! LOL.

Nice stuff you got going there. :D

[Syrogen]

JasonA: im planning to texture him.. just gota learn how to UV map, im still new at this stuff :P
dom: thanks :D thats exactly how i intended him to look like!

[JasonA]

well, you're definitely doing just fine
:thumbsup:

[Syrogen]

ok updated those eyeballs! http://www.syrogen.com/misc/head25u1.jpg

[Tikisan]

looks good...pretty brilliant color you have there...only if you want to keep the menacing look...you need to show less of the white of the eye...kinda makes him look like he's pissed and surprised at the same time...keep up the work

[skigil]

wow, that's a lot of polygons. looks good though

some tiny updates on the eyes and lips

[Syrogen]

hmm now im a bit stuck... could someone point me in the right direction to create eyelashes/eyebrows without painting them on? :shrug:

[Syrogen]

hmm.. i guess not?

[Artiztick]

no offence but i really dont like the eyes, and the texture!

i really liked the first pics you posted of him! Close his eyes a bit, they are too 'wide open'

sorry, i have no clue on eye lashes
