Westy, are there browser's that don't support animated gifs? I wasnt aware of that...

#9 New hair concept. I think I'm ready to start modeling the hair.

Also some changes to the eyes of the texture and color tests in photoshop done here:

#10 I'm really liking this model. Nice topology so far, good use of polies. On top of that, your texture work is amazing. I really love the painterly look to the textures (it's a refreshing change from the usual photo-sourced textures for human characters). I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some updates to this character. :)

On a different note, I was browsing the CGTalk forums, and was wondering if you had already released this model, whether in private or public, because someone going by the moniker of "Joe Bloggs" on that forum has posted up a very similar (okay, essentially identical) model, only it's wearing a kevlar helmet in this thread.

#12 @Drew:

Thanks for the heads up. :)

#13 Yep, that's me ^^, Joe Bloggs. I haven't released anything yet. I'm still working on it.

Right now I've been doing some preliminary tests with normal-mapping on the character (for TSE)... it's looking pretty cool :D.... far from done though.

Thanks for the comments Teck!
