pantomime update n lotsa stuff

here's the update on the pantomime:
first of all, changed the way he held the ball. checked the arcs. and workin a bit on the eyes and accentuated the pondering look he had on his face just before he examines the ball. Understood a lot more things i sudnt do in the future, but its kinda hard to avoid them.

The maquette i was working on still needs lots of work. And the best part is ild hav to do the thing all over, coz we didnt hav a good reference and that created some unsolvable problems. But m still gonna finish this one n get an understanding of how to polish the stuff. Pics of the making of it in a few days..
ciao
