Thanks for the tips Demon Princess. I had a go at putting some shading detail in the texture and pulled in the pelvis a bit: I really need to practice texturing more.
Man, that's bad news , sorry to hear. Hope your HD is okay when you get it back up and running. To cheer you up - here's a half-assed demon in dungarees. 146 polygons
Thanks for the kind words, people- I'm currently working on a pal to go with the demon dude- the little green guy in the middle of this pic I did... Absolutely loving the stuff in here so far (I've actually gone through the entire thread)- really inspirational.
