Thanks.

I wouldn't think of it. It rather sets the atmosphere for the rest of the
"inhabitants" of my scene, and I just hope the oddness isn't too hard to
keep for what is to come.

Again, thanks.

Oh, I'll WIP it alright. I've got a looooong way to go yet.

The docs didn't help me at all. I got a better perspective of the software
after reading Anto Matkovic's tutorial on modelling human heads. It can be
found at http://matkovic.com/anto/index.html

Oh, I think you misunderstood me, but it was my fault.  :o)  I was searching
for the proper english word but could only remember "faces".. I didn't mean
a human face but a "triangle face".. I rarely get the vertices in Spatch and
Hamapatch to create a "patch".. To fill out the wireframe with a colour.. I
just can't easily get it to work.. Dull programs.

You have to read the manual or the help file because
anyone can create patches with sPatch or Hamapatch
To get the manuals of sPatch and Hamapatch you can
go here and search for them (there are also some tutorials):

Thanks for the tip, but I have read the docs.  :o)  I just find it too
cumbersome to work in that way. I'll never understand it.

A Babelfish, a towel and the Universe. What else could someone expect of
life?

Anyway, thanks for reminding me of this reference. It's been a long time
since I thought about THGTTG. I didn't have this in mind, but I'll think
about using it in the image. It surely fits the mood, but I don't know if I
am able to model a towel.

I certainly didn't have Sir Edmund in mind when I designed it, and as for
that other Hillary, I think she resembles more closely one of those small
pekingnese dogs.

Anyway, I changed the lips now, and I hope it reduces this undesired effect.
Upon posting I hadn't merged the lips into the model yet, and the red
pigment was simply a test (as are the bricks...).

...and that's an insult to dogs everywhere!

LOL, all I can think of looking at this image is Monty Python :)
