ohman, don't take me wrong in this post because you're doing a credible job on this character. This is probably THE most difficult task with Poser that exists...making a "likeness" of a real person. The fact that you're getting really bored and tired of tweaking dials means you're about halfway there! hehe Just want to say you're doing a great job on this. The one thing I see that could use some work is the nose...seems too small, but the shape is close. Noses ARE tough! Now, my comment that will probably piss everyone off...I find it amazing how everyone seems to go goo-goo over some of the celebrity characters shown here...most aren't even close to looking like the real person. What is needed is constructive comments about what doesn't look right. Doing these figures is very tiring and you reach a point where you can't look at it anymore in a "detached" manner to see what really needs changing. I believe everyone posting a figure in progress is longing for this...and there are some very helpfull people offering their observant eyes here. But, telling someone a figure looks JUST like this person when they could never guess who it is without being told is more harmfull to the work than the good done by any ego stroaking with a false statement of how good it is. Sometimes, you've got to be tough to push someone to their potential. I'll probably get burned because I personally don't always comment on these characters posted for comment. Though I DO partake in creating figures of real people, I don't consider myself to have developed the "eye" to really see the problems...I know when something's wrong, but can't always put my finger on it. There ARE people here with a much more developed "eye" than I have. hmmm...didn't mean this to ba a rant...must not have sounded off for some time.
