Well, I'm going to try a model this head. When thats done I'll do the body to. Then i'm gona rig it and do a walking cycle for it. Hope to finish modeling it in two weeks, so I can start the walking cycle when school starts up. This is will be my first time modeling a character. The picture is something I just made up. Tried to make the head simple as possible. Not good at making up cartoony looking characters, but this character will do for now.

Well heres an update. Still got alot to do. Got to add more with split ploygon tool and clean it up. This is my first character head i done. So I kind of get mixed up how to make the flow better on the head. But I'll learn. (I hope!)

Now to answer your question MKess007!

I'm using a tutorial I found on the internet. You probly seen it before its https://www.thehobbitguy.com/tutorial...ng/index.html.

Just bought another round of points to get the head tutorials. for my next character I'll try Mikes way.

Well I did a little more to the face. I started the ears.

And know for my question. What do you guys think stay with the small ears or bigger ears? And is there anything I should work on to make better? Any comments and suggestions would be great.

How did you get that lovely radiosity looking render? Was it using the default renderer or did you use Mental Ray?

I don't know what you are talking about gazzamataz. What you mean radiosity? I used GI_joe for that one render and regular render for the others. I think your talking about the GI_Joe render am I right?

Yea, the render you are referring to was done with the GI_Joe plugin. In the Members lounge, or the newbie area.. there should be some threads called GI_JOE2, you can find the link through there, to where you can aquire the script user added image

Well I think I'm done with the head for know. I did a little tweeking on the ear and attached it to the head and duplicated it and attached the 2 halfs. If theres anything I should work on to make better please tell me. I'm pretty satisfied were I'm at right know since this is my first head. Know I need to start the body! Oh yeah I used GI_Joe for this render to.
