I was inspired by Ziv Qual
His blood elf model (http://www.zivcg.com/galleries/bloodelf/index.html)

Due to time limitations i wasn't able to recreate it entirely, but i managed to get a similar version in the way i felt like - adding additional details and feel of things, more evil...

posting the WIP SS, modeling in 3ds max, will try to render as quickly as possible the rest, just finished modeling. Managed to get it in 120 min with the last poly, extrude, scale, move combo.

btw, my fingers are tired of edge select, ring, connect, pinch + side combo!!!! I guess that's the workflow these days, please correct me if i'm wrong since i don't wanna see that combo for at least an hour
Unfortunatelly i won't be able to do Material ID for the beauty render... :(

[rocneasta]

nothing fancy, just a material added, but here it is :)

that´s it - but you´ll get used to it. i don´t even realize it anymore, it´s fully automated and fluid movement after about 1.5 years of doing so ;) (it´ doesnt take that long to adapt, iirc after some days your hand has learned it and it wont bother you anymore.

imagen doing it only with the mouse - hiw much would taht suck ;)

[rocneasta]

it will take some getting used to, after all this is my first proper model in 3ds max after my transition. I find this way of work really powerful, but at first no matter the "damn look at the result" it's still hell of a repetitive
