@Crescendo (Crescendo) replied

    womball: Thanks! I want to sculpt the rest of the turtles and give them each their own personality in what they are doing and what they are wearing. Just have to find the time   
    Sgrell: Thank you  
    Dman3d: Thank you  
    abe_Tamazir: Thanks! If you are speaking of Naruto's hair, it was built as one piece. If you meant Hugh Laurie and the other face, that hair was built using maya hair converted to polys. I can post up some image a little later if your curious about how to do it.   
    Turx: Thank you.  
    Moni-poroni: Thank you, the girl and the octopus one was a lot of fun, I hope to finish it one day as a classic horror movie poster.  
    Big Guns: Thank you.

@pOiNtPuShEr (pOiNtPuShEr) replied

    Great work!

@system (system) replied

    Excellent form for the nude female model. It's rare to see acurate proportions when it comes to female models. The attention to detail on the weight of the thighs and hips are great.
    
    My only critique is on the Samus model. Proportions and pose are awesome but depending on the material or fabric she is wearing would cross from one breast to the other, rather than appearing like they are seperate. Even in tight material such as leather, the breasts do not appear to be seperate forms. Again, this crit is all dependant on what material she is wearing. If it's a harder material like metal or armor, then her breasts could appear to be seperate. I hope this makes sense!
    
    Awesome models though, I'd love to see any of these painted and rendered!

After which, @barbarossaX (barbarossaX) added

@j_lizzle (j lizzle) replied

    Superb work. I've been playing around with hair and fur the past couple of days. And I'd love to see your hair process. Also, have you tried using fur for short hair? It seems like it'd give better results if I could find a way to “style” it with curves. Any thoughts?

So @poda (poda) replied

    Wow! Great stuff all around. The woman being attacked by tentacles (please don't insert joke here) is exceptional! small_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamond

Then @chindian (chindian) said

    boobs, tentacle monsters and surfing turtles what else could I ask for?  
    great work!
    
    only thing I don't really like is the fibre hairs on dr. house. they sort of distract from the clean looking face,  
    they do look good on the textured face however. so maybe if dr ouse had color to him they'd also fit?!

    I love the older Ninja turtle too! I might've missed it, but is it supposed to be Raph? That's what he looks like to me - he looks all grumpy and such.
