its cool to hear so many likes the texturing of my object.
Because this is one of the first times i try to texture organic objects!!! i failed a few times before to texture organic models!!

if you see my textures its nothing special!! its just a green texture with some blue and light-green lines i made with the paintbrushtool and darken up some areas with the burntool ( im talking about photoshop now )

@ozwolf: im not sure if the methode i am using is the best.
I am breaking the model into different parts and then i make a UV from those parts!!! the leg i created is a cylindrical UV while the foot is a planner UV!!! maybe you should also break up your model in parts and then UV each part one by one!!!

the texture i have attached with this post is the texture for the feet!! as you can see....its nothing special!!

PS. took me 15 minutes to type this message and i don't even know if this is understandable!!!

Looks very good! Where did you find such a close up of your dinosaurs head? I looked for a brontosaurus and i couldn't find anything as good as that.

started texturing the head!!! very hard to let it looks like realistic!!
also planned to give the neck and lower body some redish color because i dont wanna have a completely green dinosaur!!!
also is 'blades' on his head are going to be a little bit red...im not sure if that will look good, but i will see

hope you guys like the texture so far!!
( dont have a bump map yet. Only a procedural map )

My only suggestion is to give him an eye lid.

Keep it up!

sometime you have a days, everything you are doing goes wrong!! thats happening to me today

i cant seem to get the inner mouth look good and also i am not happy about the mouth corner!!! spend a few (!) hours on it but dont have many progress!!!

i brighten the image a little bit up because it was a little bit dark!!
hope you guys can give me some good tips for the mouthcorner and the inner mouth!!! ( texture for the mouth is not fitting the texture inside the mouth, i will fix that ). and he needs some teeth but they are coming soon to!!

im happy we have 2 months for this one, otherwise i never get this one finished

@ kinley: he actually does have some eye lids...but they are wide open for the neutral look!!! when all is done i will close them a little bit for the more dangerous look!!
thank you for the tip though!!

well... i am going to get some sleep now and hope tomorrow i will have a better day
