Male Runner

Still not even finished but i did this model the sametime I was working on my lioness. I didn't push this one as much as I wanted to because my focus was on my lion.

I still have to polish up the muscles more and maybe a few more things. Overall it's coming along.

Tell me what you guys think!

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. Well, I didn't become good overnight. It has taken time and making models after models to get to this stage. Although I continue to improve on ways to built as well as speed. The lioness took me at most one weeks worth if not less and same with the male.

It take alot of practice and learning from your mistakes.

thanks,

Marco

I don't use instant messaging anymore because to me it becomes a big distraction when modeling or anything else. Sorry, but i do always check emails if you wish to email me whenever.

Sweet! I love the muscle tone. Especially in the arms, the detail and definition there is amazing. If I may add a crit though; the abs feel a little blocky to me, seems like the seam running through the middle of the six pack could be softened a bit. Beautiful model though.
you lioness was amazing as well, keep em coming.
cheers,
Penguin

Looks cool,

Is this from the Freedom of Teach dvd as it looks familiar, if it is you have done a good job, though I think the proportions need some tweaking, but only a little.

Keep it up.

So you noticed! I was waiting on someone to see the simaliarities.

Actually it's not from the freedom of teach DVD, but was done in my summer class taught by the man himself Tereq. I would have finished it but I had two models going on the same time. I didn't quite spend enough time on this male model since my head/time was on the other one.

I have now moved on so I'm not even sure if I will get back to this soon. Right now I have been working my butt off on new projects.

Thanks for your criq. and others as well.

Marco
