Here's another recap...

So for the past month I've been sitting on my thumbs, rocking back and forth, while I'm crying in my beer.

There, I said it. I've been officially sitting on the fence, pondering what I need to do next. Now and then, I would pick a fight with myself and lose to the idea that I have to be perfect. That is until two weeks ago when I finally realized I'm not an expert. I've only been doing this for a year and I should be proud at what I've accomplished to this point. Throughout most of this project, I was flying by the seat of my pants. Everything that I added was roughly sketched out and modified on the spot. So, when I look at it a day or a week later, I would either delete it or change it again. So, no more adding. Plain and simple. In addition, I reached out to my friend Aaron, who modified my bathroom, and asked if he could take a look at the monkey once I'm done. He's pretty good at texturing and lighting, so here's hoping he could finish it.

I also finally opened up to my Brother about where I'm at with the Cyber-monkey. Technically, this has all been for him, so if there's anything that needs to be changed, it should be his call. We agreed he needed some pants. He is an anthropomorphic Monkey, so it feels weird that he's naked.

Now with the pants and suspenders added, it comes down to style. He said that he should look more Rambo and less Pirate. Hopefully, I should have him all wrapped up in another two weeks.

Here's what needs to fixed:

The pants needs some detail to them.

The fur needs to be combed cut and ruffled, so he looks rugged.

The tail gun needs to be opened and attached.

Everything packaged into one model for the armature.

Pose.

Current regrets:

I didn't make the inside of his mouth. There are no teeth and tongue, so he can't open his mouth.
