A highish poly model of myself I am working on. I am not really looking for likeness crits (im not good enough for that yet :P) but just anatomy tips in general. Also poly use, spacing, etc...

Also! hair! I dont really know what to do, I have done a lot of low poly hair and stuff but is this completely different or what? I was going to just make a bunch of planes and alpha it later but any help would rawk...

nice work, looks pretty solid to me! but- if its a self portrait maybe you should post some pics of yourself so people can comment on likeness and suggestions about hair?

Post a ref pic. Otherwise, as long as it smooths OK it's fine. I'm struggling with hair too at the moment. I'm using Maya but the hair solution isn't giving me what I want. If I find something that works well, I'll let you know. Alpha'd nurbs tubes are looking favourite.

Yep, a ref would be the best way to get good crits on this.

Other than that, you're edge flow is off. Check other artists around here and look at the edgeflow in their models. Soul's edgeflow always amazes me.

Ryan: I think you've gone too dense too soon. You need to strip out some edge rows and go back to basics. Right now your geo is too dense to work with I think.
