thank pantmonger, i agree with you on the hair.

i didn't start him thinking of making a blizzard orc...he just ended up looking similar to Hellscream out of Warcraft :) (then i opened my Art of Warcraft book and thought his hair style was cool) but i dont want to go and make another orc with huge armour covering everything.

update on the hair:

i think it may just be the position of the thumb..ive modelled it in a relaxed position but ill play around with it.
somethings im going to do now before david letterman comes on :):
- make the toes look a little less cloned
- define ankle/lowerleg a bit more...
keep the suggestions rolling :)
**edit: bloody cricket is on! no letterman. [V]

thats fantastic, you are goona go far [:)] and like you and others have said, fingers and toes need sumthink... maybe not so much fingers to me , but the spaces between the toes seem too far apart but i guess it hasnt been bound yet....so... im sure you might squish em together then .I love the lil hairs on the legs and armpits.. i presume thats a plugin... duh! Great muscle structure/shape! [;)] great great great.. oh yeah, ther eonly seems to be toe nails on the big toes... i dunno, does the forearm look a lil short? perhaps its just the sylee . it looks wicked either way....
it looks f***n good!!!

Looking good and tight, couple of bits on the feet look a little stretchy but thats life.
Man your one of those people who map with a huge stack, that givs me the fear.
Go go go....

My sympathys to you, Have lost volumes of stuff in the past myself, that?s why everything gets interations when I work on it now. I iterate my psd?s, everything. It?s a good habit to get into you just clean it all up when the finished product has be burnt and stored.

fantastic. if ya wanta rig for him i cld do ya one in an hour or 2 or maybe 3 depending on what controls you wanted..which i guess would be all you could set your hearts desire upon... and except for phonemes (obviously)unless you give me all the models with the phonemes. I dont got max 5 tho, so it wld have to be a maya rig .... theres an offer if ya want it.
Nice work :)
Tho I think the waist is a bit too small compared to the size of the shoulders...
I would be afraid to date a guy that had a smaller wasit then I did :)
But maybe you ment it that way? *shrugs*

Very Nice, got to get into some of that high poly stuff myself one of these days.
Going for a very Warcraft look, the only crits I have is that the thumb looks a little too much like an extra finger and not opposable enough, but that could just be its current position, and the hair on his head looks a little on the thin side, but other then that great stuff
