Looking great.

It may be the angle but the neck looks like a cube; where it comes to a fine point.

All started as nurbs shapes then converted to polys for adding geometery then convert to sub-d to shape

if he slows down, we pay double for bandwidth :p
no, i think you have a good speed...if i need to catch up, i just pause the tut and rewind to make sure i got everything. i think it's a good pace though, and you still cover everything.

the model is looking great! the neck does seem a bit odd though near the shoulders..., but he definately looks like he works out and could kick some major troll butt! :p

wow i really like the detail in the legs ... very good work kurt .... arms too me look alittle weaker than legs but maybe that is what you are going for ...

good work ..cant wait to see more

by chance could there be a wire frame to see how you got the details ? if not that is okay since it is for a contest

Kurt

Hows it going dude?

I'd advise putting in a twist on the forearm topology, it will be easier to paint weights on the rig (if you do any)

Possibly round out the arms a little more as they are looking a little square as is the shoulder. Looks fun though

Cheers
Jay
