OK, it's time to commit to the WIP thread.

Here's what's been happening in the 3D thread so far...

 







 

And here's what's happened today.
I've modelled and textured some proper eyes...

 

And I've put in a basic skeleton so he can be posed...

 

Yes, the hands aren't rigged yet and the horns need a bit of weightpainting which is why they've disappeared in this pic but we're getting there.

He's shaping up nicely. He's like an angry albino Ludo from Labyrinth 

Smell. Bad.

Ludo friend.

I hadn't intended to take part in this one... but I started mucking about in Zbrush so  . I'm not sure about his proportions right now, and no matter how large I make his hands, they always look too small. Maybe he just needs more hands 

 

Maybe they just need to be "heftier" - with thicker fingers etc? They don't look small to me, but fairly slender compared to the muscular arms. And I guess this one's really about the posing stage, but with that short neck I'd expect his whole torso to be a bit hunched over... and with that would probably follow bent knees, as well. But it's probably too early to comment on thos bits anyway.
