cool style. the likeness could be better though. he doesn't look as old and rough as cash himself. i had to read the text before getting it. also, what happened to not crossposting so obsessively between this thread and the CWTDDAT thread? :)* *added a smiley face, in case i sounded rude.
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;35005714] also, what happened to not crossposting so obsessively between this thread and the CWTDDAT thread? :)*[/QUOTE] um... obsessively? really? this cash piece is like the first of about the last 10 things i've posted that has gone in the other thread. am i not allowed to post anything at all in the cwtddat thread if i post here? it's like none of you are ever looking in this thread but then you see one picture that is the same and suddenly i'm spamming

could you be more specific
[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;35033075]could you be more specific[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/BTJG5.jpg[/IMG] I think the refection would review the underneath parts of the car. (pipes, ect..)
ah thank you [editline]7th March 2012[/editline] started modelling a hand badly: [t]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nH7JPNpQXdM/T1dLwcXKiZI/AAAAAAAAAg4/UTLkvpoafIc/s1600/hand1wip.PNG[/t] [t]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l0GUsdQAFD4/T1dLxmsZYII/AAAAAAAAAhA/hoo6P4-k2SU/s1600/hand2wip.PNG[/t]
The fingers are either too far apart or too short. Are you using a reference? Hand reference images are rare but I think I have some somewhere.

You're a good artist.

apparently my tutor chats shit then. we'll see what happens when i carry on with it as for the fingers being too far apart, the fingers match the positioning of my reference image exactly - the fingers are splayed in the reference (apparently modelling them splayed out is better for a character t-pose because it's easier to rig the skeleton later or something?????? i dunno i'm shit at 3d)
I thought you were supposed to model in the same order as the bones and their children extend Not that I've done much 3d either
