this is my final design pretty proud of it but wish i had more time

after a bit more tweaking and editing i put a simple background into the piece to give it some environment this think would be found in

in this part of the image i added textures and experimented with the heal tool like the original video told me to
part 1 of the paint over

after a bit of a re-edit and a lighting improvement this is the model i plan to paint over

this is my wip in working on 3d textureing rather than a paint over

 

also as a note this is the video this is exercise is based off of http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZL7nV7WwJKg
