From the top: three images of the final test, ensuring I can get the texture where we want them! preparing to take the final character from jess tomorrow, as the UV for him needs to be customized before its painted on. The last two images: i like the checker pattern-want to take the 1 nice squarish black pattern that extends into his ear. spots haven't looked nice so far. also, that pure white is graphically powerful and would look nice with toon render. the blood dripping from his mouth is because he was eating paint! this is convenient for us as the inside of his mouth is now red.
The other image: a test of consistency in texture after multiple smooths on model and low pixel painting
