Is this a battery charger Have you used any subdivision surfaces on that or is it one sg with edge loops approach? Is loss of surface definition worth the shortened modeling duration? Or to put it clear, what's the real deal with that approach?
A couple speed sculpts of mine. Last year, I'd planned to do one a day which I managed to do for a few weeks.. but then life-stuff came along and sideswiped that plan. It'd be good to get back into it.
Anyway.. the old man portrait took about 45 min. Raph took about an hour and some change and was super difficult to stop working on.

The battery charger parts are subdivided. Everything else I've been posting in this thread lately has been no subdivision.
Normals are all that matter for baking. Subd models have precise normals because they're dense geometry. But they're way more precise than you need for most actual purposes in real video games. For 90% of working needs, you can get away with quick, simple geo that shades Well Enough at a general viewing distance. And if subdivision isn't part of that process, no big deal.

Each one has a specific theme and was completed in 45 minutes.
