Description
I spent two months in the Middle East in 2006, incl. Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel. I've been working off and on improving the mesh. Here is the latest update. 10/07
The backdrop is from a photo I took in a temple near the Valley of the Kings.
LW 7-9.3(-64). Rendered in Fprime 3.01

I case any of you wondered, I built this mesh a couple of year ago, using Dan Ablan's book as a guide.
Beautiful image! Excellent color and illumination! Happy trip to the country but mysterious!!
Definately beautiful work. It would be a shame not to finish her. The face is majestic and dignified. Well done. Cheers...
nice lookiinbg start! maybe smooth the nose and check areas. It looks like a bit softer transition in the photo. just my 2
petes, I just uploaded the image I took in Berlin of the actual bust, and I am thinking the same thing. It may be just lighting, but I too think that the transition needs to be a little softer.
Oh those eyes, those gazing eyes. Well done you have mastered her finest seen feature. I was at Egypt a couple of year ago, you will not be disappointed my friend. I hope you do complete this project
Terrific work! I am planning a trip to Cairo sometime this year if all goes well. I'll drag a copy of your render with me and make comparisions to the bust of the Queen of the Nile. Please do finish her up sometime. :o)
Ok, I smoothed the nose-cheek transition and it does look much better now. The rest when I get back. Lots of "body-building" and texturing to be done, before I can pose her into a setting.
This is great work. Illustrates a reall ability at modeling. I like the back drop as well.
What you have done so far is excellent!
Nice piece of work - great modelling.
The model is excellent... very realistic and well done, 5+++++!
nice work
