Color and whatnot

This one doesn't look much like him either.  I think MAYBE image planes might be a good way to go for measurements and stuff.  Then again, maybe I should do something else.  Anyways, I decided to do a little work in Photoshop as well.  So here's the result of that.

Thank you, Mr. President ...

So the aim was John Spencer.  I'm not done with it yet and I still need to figure exactly what is wrong with it.  Mr. Spencer's head is more ... roundish.  and the eyes still bother me.  However, I don't think it was a bad first attempt. 

Rigging done

So I finally got around to actually putting a rig on this.  I first wanted to use 3DS Max but I found it's skinning tools to be cumbersome and annoying.  So I hoped back into Maya and rig it up a lot faster than I would have if I had tried to stick with Max.  Aw well.  I do like Max's Modeling tools better.  I just don't remember max being that annoying to rig and skin things in. 

Just practicing...

Waiting for a phone interview ... decided to try and sketch something.  about 1 hr of work.

Tweaked Maps

Made more detail in the Diffuse and Specular.  I also toned down the lights.  I suppose I should rig her now.

Started coloring ...

So she's all retopo'd and started putting some color to her.  The result so far . . .

Just an uncolored version
