Hello all,

After reading that this months challenge was a lab, I decided hat my next character would be a crazy scientist (seeing that I like to selfishly indulge in creating characters). Any- way, this is what I have sofar. You input and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And thanks for the brilliant pointers on the last model user added image

Nice stuff, he looks very manic! Perhaps give the inside of his ears some more definition? Look forward to seeing more of him.

Here's an update. Thinking of calling it "The New York What...?" I fixed the ears as best I could (lost the history on the connect to poly mesh and had to use the sculpt tool). Going to color in the plug and paint some weights next.

Excellent, might be worth changing the pose of the little finger on the hands so they don't appear too symmetrical. There's a little area where his tie texture has migrated onto a face on his jacket. I think he's rather cool.

Eagle I think his shirt is meant to be too big. Maniac scientists don't have time for proper clothes shopping, lol.
