Eeewww. Lol it looks awesome. My only crit: it lacks detail and the body setup is sort of awkward. Great reflections! What is that to the very top right of the first image? That gray blob? :thumb: ---

Thanks! In the top image, I used a picture of the earth to set up the lighting, so it had a nice contrasted blue lighting. That in the top left is a reflection of one of the continents :). (you can see islands on the floor also :)) Thanks again, 3dnirvana ---

It is a good starting point but at this moment I dont like it. Lacks detail and emotion. Not sure what it will be used for but it needs a bit of work. But it is a good start. I would like to see it progress. ---

hey! awesome work for starters! Ive had a lil play in 3dsmax before, so i know getting into modelling is quite challenging! My 2c: the fingers and toes could be more rounded, they look a bit like they have been extruded - flat box-like looking. It would be cool to see some sort of texture / hair or something on it in the future… (?) but other than that, you are off to an excellent start! keep up the good work! JD ---

DDD- ok, this is just the first draft, an hour or so put into it, just messing around 🙂 RadioactveChimp- lol good idea, I’ll do that. phyzar- thanks! , I’ll round out the hands and stuff. This is just a first draft, so I haven’t added textures and hair yet :). I do have the uv maps all set up… I just have to make a good skin texture now :). ratbaggy-… yah he’s supposed to be an oaf/alien doohickey… I’ll shorten the arms a bit … but I kninda like the out of proportion arms 🙂 Thanks for all the comments! 3dnirvana ---

lol… no, the arms out position is the standard position that makes it easiest to put a bone structure in after the moddleing process is done. Also makes it a lot easier to set up the UV’s 😉 Cheers! 3dnirvana
