Hey all,

I started this head model about two years ago, and I've recently dug it up and been working on it. Right now, I'm not entirely sure what to do with it design-wise, apart from the fact that this will be a nasty looking character, but I'll put some thought into that later.

Mainly, this is anatomy and topology practice, so I'm looking for some feedback along those lines. In terms of anatomy, the head is intended to be exaggerated, but go ahead and offer some suggestions anyway. I'd also like to see where I'm going wrong in terms of edge loops and what have you. The neck needs a lot of work, so you can ignore that, and the ears are a jagged mess, but I'll fix 'em up later.

Fire away, and if you guys need more wires, just ask.

Thankee!

Head topo was recently discussed in dabu's thread:

For practice i would start a new head from scratch, but i guess it doesnt hurt to tweak that one and then move on.

the anatomy is waaay off. it looks too exagerated man!!



lol, sorry, im feeling annoying today.
it looks good, the topo needs work, and i agree wit Psyk0 about starting with a new head. AAfter two years, i'm sure u can make a better model from scratch than by tweaking an old one.

cheers

PS: older works generally don't get the best effort put into them (subconciously)... so u'd be better off starting form scrath if u ask me !

True enough, I learned a ton from starting with a fairly dense sphere, modeling a head from that, and then painfully reconstructing it to get proper mesh flow.

Someone pointed me to this, and I think it is a superior technique to the one I just described.

You could rebuild your head edge by edge, but I would try the joan of arc tut.
