Avatar Progess

Avatar Progess
Ok I started working on my Avatar, I used a sketch that I did a while ago as a basis to start on. I want my avatar to look very cartoon like and chunky a bit like a nintendo character with some jame hewlett influences.

Anyway I've started it now and it's going ok one thing that I am trying to do is not use the turbo smooth tool, It's rubbish I don't like the way that it totally changes everything that you've done. So instead I'm using a more difficult method ok tesselating harder areas and smotting the image off myself. I think this gives me a better effect and makes my model look how I want it to, not how the computer wants it to look.

Anyway I started with the body, I've seen a lot of people starting from the feet upwards but scale is one of my weaknesses so I decided to start with the biggest part and build out from here. Anyway that's about it, it's going well I think, I'm happy with everything except when it renders the detail I've put into the chest goes slightly weird. I'll fix it eventually but I don't think that it'll matter too much anyway because I'm adding a t-shirt. So yeah I'm going to just build the jeans onto the model tommorow and I'll post up the results.
