Hi all,
I figured i'd post this here since im fairly new to the game i thought i could show my progress while making this character and if i hit a snag or get stuck some of the great artistic minds on the forum may help me out......
ok well here is the concept, quick and dirty sketch and paint in photoshop just to pre visualize what i wanted to go for with this guy, i was thinking cartoony, alien, but different some how, so i decided not to give him legs, which may haunt me later durning the modelling....

and here is the start of the modelling, this is real early, about 45 minutes worth... and im kind of stuck, not sure how to round out the eyes, and form the inside of the mout, plus i need to clean up the lips,

Looks kind of like the Great Gonzo... I like that... but in the concept you had the nose dangling closer to the face. Did you purposely pull the nose further away or was it an accident?

Thanks for the reply dancing monkey! :thumbsup:
Yeah i purpously pulled the nose out a little, mainly because im not that great of a modeller and working in tight spaces like that would drive me insane, and i kinda did this the wrong way, i modelled the nose first then went on from that to the rest of the head... :p maybe i'll be able to pull it back in some when the mouth is finished, but im kinda stuck right now, not really sure what i should do next....
To me modelling is like a game of chess against a very unpredictable opponent, if i make the wrong move now i could regret it later, any suggestions??
(yeah i noticed the gonzo in him after the sketch was done, but i think it will be fun to animate the nose :thumbsup: )
