Here is the start, about 2 hours worth. UV's are already mapped but not adjusted. Note this is just half and a very rough draft. Just getting it out in space.

Very nice concept work, I'm sure that getting that much detail in at an early stage will help you later. Good Preperation!

Very interesting colour concept too, really looking forward to seeing how this develops. I know the modeling will be excellent, it's how you texture this that will interest me most. Keep it going mate, very nice work indeed!

One of the feet in mid detail. The cloven split will make much more sense latter when I can show how its used.

Murph, LOL yeah I sleep, really I don't work on it much. Sharing the good computer with the misses until I decide on what to get to replace old Maya workstation (I want to see 3ghz and 2 gig ram!).

Jango, way cool. I like critter work. Yeah looks good for a nomadic rider also. Long legs, for long distances. There will probably be a bit of changes to the mesh with details in, although other parts will be simplified even more. Poly with subD prox in different layer. I subD for renders.

Surfermcd, Thank you. Especially about the concept, its a complement considering your apparent skill with them.
