Hello mmoore,

straight away I can see that the eye sockets need to be rounded off so that the eyeballs sit in them properly, also the top lip looks a little pointy at the moment. In both cases the basic shape looks to be there but some time needs to be spent tweaking it.

Take it easy,

Mat.

looking good so far. one critique though, the arms and especially the hands, look a bit boxy...try smoothing those out so they flow back into the geometry a bit better and round out a little more (i had problems with that too, when I did that tutorial)

mr Moore, what can one say, this is a much hader project than it looks and it even LOOKS hard.

your eyes do not seem big enough over all view, dont know??

take it easy and life will be easy

My suggestion would be to move the eyes back towards the body abit...it looks like there are extrusion sticking out of the head, but in reality the eyes sit in a socket in the skull cavity, so the eye is just out too far. I would also make the eyelids more perpedicular to the ground axis...

there's a lot of work there, it puts me off organics... (because it looks so hard)

take it easy and life will be easy
