I’m just making this guy up as I go along, while learning Blender. I did at least 30 tutorials before attempting something completely on my own, but, it’s still slow progress and I spend most my time trying to figure out the program (and why this or that doesn’t work the way I want). At this stage I can smell completion, so I’m laying off doing more research and am not sweating the details so much. I’m going to paint over it anyway.

Oh wow. Such details. I like it a lot! It looks like a wood carving. Well done!

Later I will “apply materials” to it, and it will look more metalic and whatnot. But I like the look it has now, as well. Thanks!

Don’t be like me! Save a copy of this version. So annoying when you go and make changes and then realize you were right the first time!

Good! The art is much more interesting than a bunch of words!
