Due to a hardware failure I necer got to finsh the main 2nd day sculpt for my classes in Rotterdamn last week. Here's what it would have looked like. Polycount is 1.9 million polys based on a tri / quad combo base mesh.

'Back in the day' when I started I came up with a load of ways to save polys and still produce detail due to having the worst machine in 3d at the time (a duron 800 with 512 mb ram lol). So I thought it was about time to dust off those skills. Plus I've gone as far as you can with speed sculpting.

All sculpting ..and no bump maps etc...
Enjoy

Really nice model... was the GFX card that failed in your laptop or the machine there?... either way thats a real pain in the ass :(

I really like all the skin folds and subtle muscle definition you gave your character. The slight change in proportion and posture gives the character a lot of personality.

nice character , qusetion for you about his pose: Did you pose him sort of back leaning with arms like that for a particular rigging or other technical reason, or is it purely for artistic reason?

I ask because I see people doing a similar pose now and then and I'm not experienced enough to know if this is due to a technical design concern or a look & feel that people like?

thanks and keep up the good work

To be honest ..both reasons. Although I am planning on (eventually when I can drag myself to do it) animate this character. So I personally find this pose better to rig from..although it also gives the sculpt a better sense of weight and balance as well.
