So this is where I got to after working on it most of saturday and then a bunch on sunday too. I'm not super happy with everything- My goal was to utilize alphas to really define individual materials to an extent beyond what I've achieved previously. I also wanted to squeeze good results out of fibermesh. I'm proud of what I accomplished in the face, but most everything else is only so-so, and even the face is just passing from a critical standpoint. Regardless, I liked lots of the design, and hope to get back to it sometime, though by the time I do i will likely feel like starting something new. Unfortunately I don't have the time for this to be anything more than a weekend study.
