I've started the same comp as tweety, but i've not got as much time to do stuff. user added image

Here is what i've been doing on the computers at work.

yesterday

today

I'm trying to model this more than zbrush it. I think i will just use zbrush for adding some alpha stuff and what not.

Looks nice, I might be tempted to distribute some of the edges that go to the ear.

Theres also a part on the cheek that looks a little strange with the SMP, and maybe breaks the edge flow in that area, any chance of a STD wire?

I agree steve, i will see if i can take a couple of edges out and spread them out a bit.

You could terminate some of those wrinkles on the temple area so they don't spread into the ear area, as even if you were animating him it would be an area that wouldent move that much, good practice like in my mind

i've started modeling the bandages as a test because i'm not giving him and ear and just modeling a lump in the bandages. do you think i should still delete some or reroute them somewhere?

Did you use Zbrush for that high level mesh or you use only maya
