The Joan of Arc tutorial. http://www.3dtotal.com//ffa/tutorials/max/joanofarc/joanmenu.php One of the great tutorials. Always worth having a go if you're a beginner, and still not sure of the processes of creating the correct edge loops and topology.
Thanks a lot for that tutorial! I had a quick peek and the face modelling stuff is mega useful, I might re-do the man's face using this technique since I don't think I can fix my topology without some major reworking anyway.
Not bad at all for a first try at realistic character modeling. There is a lot wrong with it but I'm not going to give any crits based on what you have now. Instead I will point you HERE and recomend you look through the rest of PC's awesome wiki. You will find tutorials on almost anything you will need. Welcome to PC.
