Default Aug/Sept - noob - Zeeman

Hey! Count me in on this one. I did manage to find some time in between work and all. Since this is a 2 month challenge i should be able to complete this. I intend top learn a lot of texturing which still tends to be my weak point... Anyhoo, i had a cartoon dino in my mind but just decided to mix up a stegosaur and some kind of a 2 legged dino. Havent thought of a name yet. Concepts below.

looks nice but perhaps it might look better if it was more stood up then leaned over and with a small hump as if it was a musculer back or summat

dunno what you had in mind but thats just my thought

away from that glad to have you aboard.

okay, i did some really quick stuff here. I've got a basic model for the body that i've got below. I put a little thought into Sharp's idea, so i made modified him a bit. Tell me which one looks better. O and, i'm not really very happy with the tail. Any comments...?

Hmmm. Ok, the tail, horribly short and lacking gerth (diameter size). On the quick stuff basic model the mouth is huge and doesn't look like the concept at all. Load the concept image into modeller and trace with points or spines for an image rough?

The concept: love it in my own special dysfunctional way. Personally I'd enlongate the tail, keep the rear legs as they are for now, thin up the front legs and have it walk like a Baboon using the knuckles of the front arms. But that's me..

thnx a dozen guys for all the advice. I got around modelling some more and made out some legs for him. There still are some errors on the body which i'll fix later. I got a longer tail and a very slightly modified mouth.
