Its a start

Righty i thought now would be a good time to summerize what ive been doing towards modeling thus far.
These are the drawings that im going to be modeling with, You may notice that ive only drawn half of the body this is because when im modeling it i'm going to mirror the body to save time and effort though this is fairly common practise and im pretty sure anyone reading this already knows it.
And heres the final thing....nah not really. The day after i did the drawings to start modeling i was sitting listening to Jared when it struck me that it might not work. I had given him an enormus body and tiny little legs and so when he went down onto his knuckles his body might scrape along the floor. I didnt wanna loose so many weeks work only to find out this is the case so i did a quick rig using the model sketches
It works relativly well, im glad i did this and would incourage others to do the same because although the belly didnt drag like i feared i noticed a couple of other errors and things i wasnt happy with. For instance the arse stuck out ALOT more than it should have been so much so that it was nearly above his head ( you cant really see it from this angle) and the boobs sat alot further down the body than i liked when he was crouching like this. All these things have now been changed.

This is how the real modellings actually going. I doing it fairly low poly and then smoothing it out twice so you get the nice curves that im liking on the body and legs. The arms have smoothed in a way im not overly pleased with so i will fix it when i apply the smooth, this is probably gonna be a big headache but i dont know another way to do it.
