The colours are kind of off because I don't have Photoshop on this computer and I'm not gonna try editing it in paint. I can't seem to resize it favourably either...

I didn't bother finishing this one because I messed up the wings.

What kind of skin is he supposed to have? The normal mapped texture on there is a little ambiguous to me at the moment. His head/neck looks pretty beefy from a side view, and a little out of proportion to the rest of his body.

Not that it's bad by any means, I just... spend a lot of my waking hours looking at models in maya and critiquing classmates so. (if you want to talk animation/maya though, I am all for that)

EDIT: Also, how did you like UVing an organic character? Fun huh?

EDIT EDIT: Oh yeah, I guess I've drawn some things.

Someone keeps forgetting to bring her scanner back to school.

Original character who looks nothing like her original design.

Also, while we're talking Maya, I was being stupid playing with it. Science, what have you done?

EDIT again:

That Jade is fantastic.

Thank you!

I'll admit, my first thought that was that she wasn't wearing any pants.
Other than that, yeah... that looks awesome.

Maybe that's why 75% of the people I've shown this to have commented on her backside.

DAT ASS, MAN!

That ass is fantastic.

The best part about it is that while I was drawing it, the part I had the most trouble with was her butt.

And to veer off the topic of butts:

I miss my scanner.

Any feedback I can get at this point would be appreciated. I've done some big changes to the model by cutting out the eyes and jaw so they can move properly. I'm almost done re-UVing them and then I can get a new normal map done. I played around with smoother skin on the front with bigger scales on the back, but I need to do some more work in Zbrush to get it to turn out. His head and neck have also gotten smaller as well.

Never done rigging before, but I'm looking into it once I get a little further along.
