Nice to hear you are around. Looks good and has your own touch that differs from original. How did you find following other sofwares tutorial, it is wakening my interest, thou I should learn some more LW first.

Hi, Noratio hmm,, the tutorials are great. Kurt has his own way of attacking a modeling job. I just watched it to see whats the approach more than learning maya. The technique or key points is whats important to me... And yea.. I wanted the dog to have a different feel,, more like the concept.

Oh yes, eh, the concept. Maybe I had this romantic idea that the fact that everyone makes a slight different output from each concept comes from person after reaching enough skills ofcourse ,and that difference I see as good thing.

Now referring more to the concept, yes yours is more like it and more gracefull especially I see you have got nicely those flows and curves at face. The ears in original are probably straight to get mapped before morphs?

Thanks Noratio. As for others who are waiting for the texturing.. i am currently texturing a face for another project.. so I will try sasquatching this guy first... maybe really play around with the settings... Will give me a purpose for learing what sasquatch can do. Although i forsee UVs looming over in my near future. Oh no
