      Okay here is a fast tutorial, I believe this will help folk understand my process better.

      In the .skp provided below are two components/models, one is the basic head shape and the other is a basic ear shape, both are rather simple.

      Use these two shapes to understand how Sub-smooth works, now! Explode and group each model/component seperately. Click on on group and then on the subsmooth icon (and select 2 Iterations. Once both are smoothed, resize and position ear (make a copy of the one you smoothed for other side) and rhen using shapes (sphere) create eyes and nose.

      It should look like this when completed.:

          Hey Solo!

          Love your work! Really nice looking. πŸ‘ 😍
          If you have some time over, maybe you can try doing Gizmoduck? πŸ˜„

            As long as we are all making requests. . . .Asterix_Obelix_e_Ideafix_2-400x413.jpg. . .

            Maybe I will give old Obelix a try myself. He's nice and round.

            If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                jenjacob, I have done Asterix and Obelix, infact I did the entire Gaul village, the Roman outpost and a few legionares (Max, z-brush, SU). However I cannot even display them as it was done on contract and I waived my rights to them on sale (would not wanna p*ss my client off as they give me lots of work)

                David, answer to you. Solo wrote this earlier in the thread.

                Keep up the awesome work Solo!

                                  How about a gargoyle or the Green Man for those who like to model historic buildings.

                                          Solo, one step important in using subdivide & smooth is create the model bigger than usual or create many edges for the model? Could you don't mind to upload more detail tutorial from here? I really want to get the complicated model skill for my self 😍
