WIP: Tidus

[ShadyD]

I had to interupt the werewolf for this, gonna go at it once i finish this guy here..
started him today..
credits to Xcloud for making such an excellent model, i traced it with photoshop for reference images.
hands arent modelled by me but are from ravensofts' kyle model.. i can make em myself but i was too lazy since the skeleton requires the hands to be in that position :/




think im gonna call it a day..
C&C?

I've seen his model, and you've got the basic proportions and form of it down, but that's about it.

I'd recommend not making a model based upon another model in the future. Doing that means you aren't coming up with your own solutions to poly flow, or exercising your imagination, you're just trying to copy what someone else has already done.
If you just can't figure out how to do something and want to copy another model, at least ask yourself why he did some of the things he did.

....
i just traced the outer lines i didnt copy his polyflow etc...:/

Nice model! Man! I wish I was half as 1337 as the modelers I've seen around here... I can't find anything wrong with it, but then again, I'm not an expert. Remember: Always have fun when you're modeling. If you're not having fun, what's the point? Sorry if I'm going off topic.

Anyone wanna texture him?
im done with the uvwmap and all only thing remaining is the texture :/ i cant do it myself cuz i cant get it to look right
