One of my friends seems to have gotten it stuck in his head that my guy looks like a malnutritioned zombie which looks totally retarded and moronic. I call it stylized, he calls it stupid. I like the mesh and his features, so I'm not going to change that. Instead, I edited the materials a little.

Now, for Taras. I've gone back to the basic mesh and I've decided to play around to make the second character. I once saw a WIP on this robot which had a really nice eye/goggle thing which had a halo spotlight shining out of it. So I've deleted his eyes In order to spend time making those cool goggles. I'm not going to make him wear clothes. Instead, after looking at SPI WIP thread (and some others) I'm planning to make him wear a full-body armour thing.

As for his teeth, I watched the Mancandy lipsync test ("take you to the future") and I love those teeth. They don't look like some guy with buck teeth, and they won't complicate lipsyncing.

Finally for updates, I've played around with different cinematic styles and ended coming up with the "shadow" outline thing...hard to explain, see attachment #4.
