. That was quite a bit of work. Now I have to make it merge into his back with blood and torn skin 
. I really have to work at that claw on the top of his bone tail.. its not exactly wonderful in that middle part 
.C&C welcome.

.. next update should be me merging the skin into the spine.. after that you can wait a day or 2 before i post my render with the spikes.. heheh. Atm im thinking im going to need to extrude the skin a bit in areas for the spikes coming out of his back to look realistic.. i cant just have them coming out of the mesh.. i will figure something out though. Thanks though so much for saying it looks the same as concept.. thats one thing that has taken me some extra hours
. Glad to hear its paying off.

I have been working on this for at least a hour, well since my last post. I finally have merged the bone tail onto the body
. Now it looks more realistic.. now im going to probably add some transluceny/bump maps on some planes to make some "disturbed fur" in that area.. just so that it takes away from the round look of the polys. Hopefully tommorow i will fix the hole on that knife thing on his tail and then start on the spikes on his back
. I have to make sure I am happy with the shoulder form before I start on the spikes though.. because the spikes are a one shot deal and will be modelled as extruding out of the mesh.. thats how i have decided to do it.

Hmm, the more i look at the above render i notice that i will have to work on the area i just made.. it looks mighty fake atm... didnt even clue into that. That will be tommorows work.
EDIT: I fixed it because it was bothering me tonight and i couldnt sleep.. not a big enough change to post though. I just merged a lot of edges and pulled a lot of verts out quite a bit..
.. fixed that sqare buttox too .

Looking good- the tail is excellent and the detail on the paws was well worth it.
