Thanks indeed for the kind words. I do hope it proves useful.

Yes, that's probably how I will list the joint rotations, to make them easy to
adjust.

I'm planning on just 1 POV-unit tall, with the feet resting at y=0. That should
make it easy to scale up.

SO... I haven't been idle.  Here's head iteration #2.  It's
looking...***better***. Still not done, though; it needs refining.  I'm finally
starting to 'see' the underlying shapes and masses, and how to go about modeling
them. And the cranium isn't just a simple scaled sphere (as this iteration
shows); it's more complex than that, so I'll try some things.  Sorry this
process is taking longer than I thought--real life reared its OWN ugly head.
;-)

I realize the body is too thin front-to-back (the result of another necessary
change that I had to make to the whole figure.)  I'll fix that too.

Stay tuned for more!
