1) Set small goals on an hourly basis. "In an hour I'm going to have 40 quick concepts done." or "In two hours I'm going to have the low poly of this tree done." The reason I suggest hourly goals is because if you give yourself the entire day, you'll procrastinate and possibly just give up. If you don't make your hourly…
pixelpatron: You'll have to wait a bit, but i really want to do it so i'll eventually get there :D Dave Jr: Do you mean the texture on the walls or the cobblestone pattern on the pavements? If you mean the walls i'll be sure to come back to them and either tone down the height variety or move the stones around a bit.…
To be quite honest, I'm building a very large model out of a dynamesh basemesh and I think if you know what you're making in advance, regular zSpheres are better (note: NOT zSpheres2) or just using a boxy base mesh. If you're just exploring I'd say it's a toss up, much easier to visualize shapes with dynamesh but the…
how do i explain this... ok pretend his head is inside a cube. Each edge controls portion of the face, based on a gradient of sensitivity within a radius that stretches to the center of the cube. try pulling the edges closest the cheek bones done to the center of the angle of the jaw inward a little towards the center. In…
Thanks everyone! Appreciate it :) You sir, are correct. I just noticed it when you pointed it out. Apparently, I did not include the high poly piece it in my last bake. Thanks for that. Fixyfix! My bad! Hi Ben! I usually do this step at the end, when I got all my stuff done but you make a valid point in that it would be…
And one last thing. To all the people who don't quite get it yet. I'm done with talking about my age. What I AM talking about is my background. I'm talking about what I've spent my entire life (which is the younger years ) doing this stuff. So to all you people who think I'm saying "OOOH LOOK I DONE THIS WHEN I WAS NINE…

The reference link isnt working on my phone so ill check it out after work today. actually its funny i found your website a few days ago and was checking our your scene. Ill definitly play more with the fleshy gooey stuff. Probably play around with a few different meshes. ill revisit…
@Tumerboy Adam williams and Lawrence Durbin. Cool cats. And I will do some tests to see what looks the raddest and can be done in the the least amount of time. brad: Yea. I had to over compensate the saturation with the original lighting scheme, I will tone it done a little bit, or maybe mess with the gamma a little bit.…
Whats your time frame? Also, if you're from 3D College Denmark and only have 5 weeks, I'd say use them on challenging yourself.. I used 5 weeks on creating my first character ever, and while some people will say "do what you're skills are", I thought I would be better of dedicating the time to challenging myself and…
Heck yeah, I love Sucker Punch! Really nice work here, but as everyone else has said, the face could definitely use some work. As a huge fan of Sucker Punch I would hate for this to turn out awesome but have a jacked face, so I did a paintover that will hopefully assist you in making it closer to how she actually looks.…
