ChrisThom Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I have always struggled with modeling organic faces so I'm just doing a bunch to practice. Here's my latest. He started out as a monkey but evolved (forgive the pun) into this guy. Give me your thoughts. face.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisThom Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 One more thing, I think that the area around his mouth is not as smooth as it could be. I have applied the porcelain material but it could use some help. I'm posting a shaded wire version in hopes that some of the more experienced spliners can give me some pointers/critiques. facewire.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishman Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I think that is an excellent head. It already has character and is engaging. One thing I do when I'm trying to assess splinage is to study the prebuilt models. They usually give me clues as to where I can improve. From the looks of the splines, it seems pretty good to me. It may just be a matter of tweaking. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 yeah, a good looking character. Do you have plans for how you're going to animate the eyes? I look forward to the texturing etc. Also like the three-headed rotation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisThom Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 Also like the three-headed rotation! It's all done with mirrors my friend. I'm planning on giving this guy some life. I'm still trying to figure out what his body will look like. Also, I've started on my image submission for the Christmas contest so that may take some time.
