Ben Mathis is a character artist who is working on Bloodrayne 2, his website is poopinmymouth.com and it has a tutorial section that shows you how to make character in a few videos. He shares his method of modelling and paiting along with anything you would want to know about becoming a character artist. All the videos are 3ds max though but you could still learn from then since most 3d modelling softwares have similar tools.

anyway...
I've been using 3ds for maybe two months, it wasn't until a couple weeks ago I really got serious about it. I started modelling for practice which led up to me starting these request topics.

@Liger - I'm glad you like it you can expect it finished within the next 2 days
