thats teh pose right there. be back in 45 minutes with a model

almighty_gir

currently weighing in at 1777 tri's i think i have enough to model the hands properly =]

Wells

face is instantly recognizeable, at least to me.

I think you really need to beef his body up, though. He's not all that skinny, if i recall correctly

almighty_gir

back in those days he was tiny. especially compared with mustaine haha.

ill certainly tweek the body though, im not 100% happy with it. im glad i at least nailed the face

Wells

ah, you're going back in time eh?

for some reason i thought his fu-manchu was more recent. I really need to study my metallica facial hair.

his legs might be a tad too long... though they might look right once posed in all his rocker glory.

can't wait to see him textured

Xeto

Yes! Bring on the metal! I agree though. He needs to be beefyer.

hehe the skinny hetfield was back when he was living on bologna on hand sandwiches.
though the figurine does show some muscle on the arms, which you've given him the neck muscle so go ahead and add a little definition to those arms. maybe bulk out the thighs just a tiny bit, like 3%. just enough so they arent straight cylinders.

looking good.

right now he's suffering from DBZ feet. broaden those toes!!

i found a clearer pic

Mishra

my only crit would be with the explorer's headstock, your model looks way off in that regard. other than that, spot on.

almighty_gir

i decided to rig it before texturing... gonna skin it with the pose in mind.

Jaco

Looking good, especially the head. The pose looks good too, maybe you could make it a bit more extreme though? Maybe lower his right hand more, untill his arm is almost straight, just a suggestion.
Texturing the posed model, sounds interesting, looking forward to the results.
