I'm sure a lot of the modellers around here have bad memories of seeing me blunder along with my model (the one in my avatar) for an entire Summer, only to drop off the face of the Earth. It's by far the model that's taken the longest to produce, because I'm trying to make THIS model correctly.
I've had horrible polyflow experiences, and have tried creating the model so many times with so many failures that I backed off for a long time and regrouped now for another go.
This time, I'm armed with a new, much saner modelling technique and tutorial (3D Total's Joan of Arc tut) which beats the Hell out of Ben Mathis' methods which have screwed me over time and again. Here I present to you the start of what may be my best model ever.
Again, just a start. Notice though, that unlike previous versions, I actually hav defined edge-loops which I have already tested for facial animation, and I must say, the ability to manipulate the face with soft selection is astonishingly easier.
I'm becoming quite fond of this method. It produces quality results, and yet is so simple to use. If anyone has any crits about the form or pol-placement, please share them; though keep in mind, I respond much better to polite criticism (ie: not incluing words like "suck", "worthless" and "helpless wannabe" in them) like what a teacher would say to a high school student.
Drawovers are always very helpful if you have the time or volition.
