Just a quick head I'm working on

I must say that is looking very good so far. Good clean and accurate mesh To be honest I really suck at modelling organic stuff and my attempt at modelling MrH2o's face is a disaster to say the least. I will continue on it once my exams are done hopefully.

Great job at the head, keep posting updates and i will also have a look at the tutorial to help me out

I guess the workflow of creating faces and stuff must be rather bad in Max. I would use ZBrush or maybe take a Poser model as reference. I don't know, never done any organic stuff before.

What techniques/programs do you guys use for creating such stuff?

Good so far, now you got the ears to model

P.S. Ears r fckn hard D:

Wow man, that is just great work!

It turns out nicely.

i think his nasal bone is too thin, looks very feminine, almost doll-like. it should be quite a bit wider, imo.

when i saw the first wip with no mouth and ears i kinda thought what it would look like once further progressed

it was really clean and all and now with the mouth area it got kinda "messy" with some tris here and there. It's nothing bad in the end you just have to work around the model to improve the polyflow a bit. The chin area could be cleaned up a bit with taking away one edge row. Well and again for the polyflow you could move some vertices to get rid of some zigzag edges

anyways, a very solid start so far \o/

ok this project will take time..

nice start..

but isnt it better if you make a skull first? then you apply the blue thing on it?

No.. a face's shape is defined by muscle, fat and skin tissue just as much as it is by the skull. That'd be a totally unnecessary extra step.

where is the bone under the eye that the muscle that moves your eye is attached too?

yeah the ear is the only part that really neesd work on now. Needs a normal map for some nice lighting cause he looks porcelin.

polygonal? My favorite part is the lips because they look soooo natural. You did an awesome job. Now just import that into zbrush and get some sweet creases and depth and you're gonna be awesome nice job!
