hmmm image code seems to be off i will just have to use links then

Early days yet, but I can see the head starting to take shape here. Just watch that you don't accidentally make the sides too concave.

update basic head finshed, don't worry about the gap between the top and bottom lip as this will have flesh in between

hey good start you've got there!!! but i suggest to change the eyebrows ( see the attached picture to see what i mean ( cant explain it ).

update on this thing
`detailing head now
`adding eyeball
`inside of mouth
hopefully i will have all that done before my driving lesson at 2:15

this one is going to rock :tup:
like the evil look you give to him!!

well body and tail added the body is going to change as it is to boxy and wide at the moment but let me know what you think about it overall

changes to body and tail also neck details added again
http://www.wakehosting.com/upload/fi...render_009.jpg

looks very nice, its got a friendly look to it.

Dae

Looking good! :) :tup:

i think the friendly look will go when he has teeth and my little modification added :D keeping that a secret though for now

mmh looks more evil than friendly i think!! but maybe thats just me!!!

anyhow evil or friendly....it looks great!!!

looks good man, keep going!

quick feet still need more work just thought i would post before i finish for the night

good job there Sspike! i like the body and head a lot!

Great job man! Keep it up!

thanks for the comments here is a little update on the head not sure about the bumps between the wrinkles so i just thought i would see what you guys thought also some wrinkles added to neck but they need to be modified
http://www.wakehosting.com/upload/fi...render_012.jpg
I prefer this one let me know what you think
http://www.wakehosting.com/upload/fi...render_013.jpg

yea. I think the 2nd one is better too. The first one makes the dino look kind of alien. lol:)

a full body shot wrinkles still need work
http://www.wakehosting.com/upload/fi...render_014.jpg

i dont like the first one with those bumps!!!
the second one is much better!!!!

good job so far...! the only crit. i have is for the first wrinkle around the neck. it's a bit too sharp. Perhaps, u could smooth it out a bit.

Yeah it is abit but man thats a very clean model. What method did you use?
Looks great

well i layed 8 points around the eye and then just worked outward from that with poz extender the neck was spline patched body, tail and leg were box modelled the wrinkles were added with FI's wrinkle plugin now working on a head texture

here is an early textured version still more detail to add to it but let me know what you think upto yet

full body

eye texture done just needs a little tweaking to get the pupil thinner i am now working on some arms as it looks a little odd without them

Going well so far - I think once you've got some teeth and a tongue in him, his head will start coming together. The feet look a bit odd at the moment as well.

thanks fallen the feet do still have to be refined a bit as they don't sit on the floor correctly the toes are slanted
well here he is with some arms and a modified texture

good start on the arms. Interesting texture aswell.:)

tweaking the head bump today as i didn't want to do much modelling today so here it is upto yet

looking good...a few comments though!!

* the eyetexture could use some tweaking!! ( smaller pupil i think )
* did you used a bump map on the eye?? if yes, you should delete it
* edges from the skin are to sharp. the edges from the white and orange/brown color needs to be soften!

go give him some teeth and a tongue, its hard to eat something without them :)

good luck with texturing the rest of his/her body!!

update on the texture thanks for the tips bullet

The latest pic with the smoother edge colours is very nice, i would add a gradient to the bump to darken the deeper areas.
The eye has a crease but the pupil looks much better smaller.
Coming along great otherwise good work!.
