ScottR Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Dang, you certainly nailed moss green. I like that. After looking at the first one, I was going to ask you since you do so much contouring in the neck join area, why not go ahead and completely blend the neck heal smoothly into the body. Then on the second one it looks like you may have done just that. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menapia Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Cheers Scott , I like to leave the neck heel a little meaty and have clear distinction between neck and body. I use to blend them together but I like how it looks and feels this way but knowing me that will probable change again sometime soon .
