Thought I’d wander over and see what’s up. :eek: nice job, m@ that head’s looking ace. The skull looks a shade small to me, but I’ll reserve judgement till I see it connected to a body.

#75

excellent - it looks very real - i dont want to fight against that beast :wink:

#76

pigwater, Primus, loganarts, swag, : thanks a lot!

He can hear now, and bite with two more teeth! (I’m slow…) .Still have to refine those ears though. Waiting for your suggestions.

#77

Once he’s in battle armour, this work will be caried onto another level.
Actually this one reminded me of planet of the apes.
Anyway, really clean modeling this far.
Will you give him some facial expressions once it’s done? Real apes have alot of em.
About the ears.
They seem to fall back into the furr on gorillas.

#78

:surprised POOF!
I think I should QUIT this challenge just right now! :smiley:

Amazing stuff man, great details in those wrinkles!:thumbsup:

Gotta keep an eye on this thread:buttrock:

Joril : thanks…about facial expressions, that depends on how much time I’ll got left then. About ears, those are more chimp-like ears… I think I’ll let them like that… I’m not doing a gorilla :slight_smile:

ila_solomon : :blush: thanks! I’m glad you like it. :beer:

dakmoden : thanks.

I’ve finished the upper teeth. In those renders, the lower teeth are just a mirror of the upper ones, and it will not stay like this. Almost ready to weld.
