[Pequod and Shimmyo style 1st head]

Inspired by the fantastic Mascot work Pequod did for Briar. Pequod provided somewhere some great close up shots of the face of Briar.

With this as inspiration plus the number 28 Face Tutorial Video by Dan Shimmyo available on ARM, I have begun my first semi-realistic head.

thanks for the replys - found myself very busy the last few days, but I would love to see your comp Wade.

I am ready to put on some decals, but I am afraid that it will bog down loading of the model when I open it. Any ideas for what makes a quick load? I am also looking for ideas to make it bob realistically in the water.
