You gonna texture it? :3
That'd be sweet to see that z brushed out!

heehee, guess i'll put in there that you DID make the finalizing suggestion ^^;

but yeah! totally! XD

i cant wait to try out Zbrush or Mudbox with this thing and get it either looking semi-realistic with hair and fur, or cartooney-style XD

may I suggest texturing with blender? I find its the fastest way to get difficult objects uv'd. Check out cannedmushroom on veoh for tutorials.

thanks but... i'd much rather use a program that my instructors can actually HELP me with :p

Your right that your instructors should know the program, but if you dont start branching out on your own and learn the programs yourself youll fall when you leave the course. Its sad to say that most tutors knowledge (unless they keep up to date ) is sadly lacking or out of date. Not all teachers I should say, but if you learn only what your taught youll only be at best a clone of someone whos been in the business alot longer then you.

I like your look and you must try to absorb as much knowledge off your tutors as possible, but if you dont start to branch out and look at other alternatives you will find it hard to get work in the industry later.

Maya is a good program to use in terms of modelling (along with 3dsmax) but look at others like mudbox/zbrush/blender. Also sign yourself up to some of the better known sites of those programs and talk to the people on the forums there.

Sorry if Im bablling stuff you already know, but its late and I dont want to see someone fall into the same thing I did (and many of my classmates), we relied too much on our tutors and it cost me a year of self tuition to get the skills I was adleast starting to accept as useable.

Anyway keep up the good work Ill keep a eye on your progress.
Sincerely
TDW
