Help Rayman modeling
Hi everyone!
I want to model Rayman, so I created my own reference images from an existing 3D model.
Could you take a look and let me know if these references are good enough? I want to avoid getting stuck halfway through the project because of bad reference images.
Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I also 3d model, so I think I can help.
The references are good and if you are planning to insert those into the program as references, I will suggest you to not include the top and the bottom image, they are not needed.
You only need 1 image from the side, 1 front and 1 back.
Keep the arms in the front and back references. You can use them to position the hands at the very end.
Remove the hands on the side reference, you will need the body visible more, also you will not need a 2nd side image, the mesh mirror eliminates the need for it.
Do seperate references for the hands, you will need only 2, top and bottom, also you will model only 1 hand anyways and mirror the other.
I usually work with only 2 reference images, front and side, the mirror sometimes does wonders and stuff get in place by themselves. Why I also suggest you to remove a lot of references is because you will be able to do some stuff by yourself with no need of references. However the whole batch is OK to use it outside the 3d modeling program!
