Here’s the first head I’ve ever tried to model in blender. The female version was done first, but I thought the ears were pretty weak. In the process of trying to redo the ears, I extruded some horns and made the second male version. Any comments/crits? I think I’m off to read the joan of arc tut and figure out how to make those damn ears better.

not bad for a head! better than any of mine ('course, i don’t post them because they really aren’t worth it). weird reflections on the demon. and his horns have squares on them, try hitting the “set smooth” button?

Yeah, i see what you mean with the ears, they are too flat. The neck also seems a bit too thin.
For the rest, it is looking very good!

If I were you I wouldn’t set the horns smooth. I think the squares make them look more sutible for a daemon.

kow, that’s what I was thinking. With the faces visible on the horns, it gives them that “ridge-like” quality that you see on ram’s horns.

funky reflecton, where does it com from? horns should be higher upon his head and more to the sides rather on the back, but kool

kool man!!! try with bigger horns and some evil red eyes…

if you want rideges on the horns, try a texture of scales and bumpmap it onto the horns. the problem with the squares is they look very regular and orderly.

very good job of modeling, I liked the skin texture of the angel.
although it looks like there’s something sticking out of the forehead of the angel maybe try to to smooth that out a bit. but I don’t know what an angel looks like so… maybe they do have that there…

goodluck with hair!
