Hehe,,, cool. So now its the details right? I would be tempted to go and do the details maybe mussle defination more armour, the whole shabang. It will be make it more complex and more interesting.

yeah Kumar, i'm trying to add and fix some of his details. I'm also trying to get some armor finished. Perhaps a shield on his back or a sword.

okay, now i'm just too clumsy to do any more modelling or detailling. I'm really worried about putting some kind of a texture on it. I'm trying to use UV's but i'm new to it, so...

Well since he is a sort of alien i think you just might be able to get away with a procedural. Maybe a couple of them layered to get a slimy feel and look. Just a thought....

I love it
Is it possible for you to make a few more poses? Have him flex his muscles or something.

This one is looking good i have been watching for a while but i just noticed in that last render that the area where the leg joins the hoof is a little off looks almost like the legs are balancing on top of the hoofs and not joined to them can you see what i mean
hope it helps

Certainly looking nice! You might want to stick him on some kind of floor so that he's casting some shadow - just to add a bit to the render and so he doesn't look like he's floating in mid air.

okay, here's a render that i did with radiosity. I dont use it much cause my computer takes ages to work it out. Thnx sspikedudley, i tried to fix the ankles. It was looking a bit odd. I did stick him on a floor for this render.

Nice - for some reason he has an almost plastacine look about him. Kind of something like a Nick Park/Ray Harryhausen collaboration! As for radiosity - sorry, haven't a clue.
