seriously dude, it's not like you can't make a good looking thing in a few weeks,
take a look back at the 3 way challenge joopson, mayaniac and me did, i did that picture in 5 days, and it was my first organic model
it all comes down to the motivation and time
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

although if you compare my first model to some of my later one its alot better (and now i could solve all the problems with it easily)
its kirts dragon (well the head anyway): https://forum.simplymaya.com/showthre...ghlight=dragon
I excpected to get it to look exactly like kirts and it was in the middle of the holidays so i had so much time to tweak it so even though its my first model i think its my best (it has problems but aesthetically i think its great). Although sadly i didnt have history turned on and then saved it after smoothing which meant i never got to uv mapping it
I want to try and model a hyper/photo- realistic model yet i just dont have the time, and the immediate future doesnt look good for time either (exams
)I also have no idea what to model, i find myself just modelling elephants
I may try hard surface modelling....
BTW I love your pug
Oh, and i really have to stop making threads about me.....
