Starving African man: Early Stages

I’ve worked very sparsely on this 3D model over the last week or so. Currently the character looks like a rather health middle aged man, but I’m in the process of adding extra ugly to him. Zbrush is awesome! I’m using the “ZBrush Character Creation” tutorial that I recently bought. It’s a PDF, so it’s taking me a little longer to follow along. I’ve always had trouble shaping the lips, and I got frustrated. I stopped working on it for a few days.

Backup 2.0

I’m pretty sure that I posted my experience on backing up my WordPress based web site. For some reason, it didn’t seem to show up here. Maybe I posted it in another forum. Oh well.

The backup experience was fairly easy. At first I tried using a program called “wpBackup”, but it proved to be too complicted for the task. I had installed it about two months ago. Just recently I installed the much better “WP-DBManager”. This program is simplicity itself. Its feature set is very acommidating. It now have the app backup my daTo tabase locally on server, and email me a copy to Gmail account.

As for the other files, I just transfer them back to my laptop every week or two. That’s about it.
