Airworks, I’m not sure if I will do fur, critter was originally conceived with a fine downy coat, but nixed that for more dino. Don't know.. wander what Mike thinks.

ok, Medium detail fleshed out. Still have some tweaks. This render is a bit higher contrast than normal to maybe help see the shape better. Let me know what you think. Still have some things to figure out about the shape.

Wow pony, going even better than I thought user added image

And you still have more than 19 days! One thing I'm wondering though, could you post a top view of the tailpiece and a closeup on the head (not sure if you've finished those yet roughly though..).
This because it does not have the exact charm factor that your drawing has... perhaps something to do with the eye(s)?
Anyway I'm almost unworthy to even think about commenting, you're really doing a super job! user added image

Hey Pony

This is real nice stuff, I have one crit now though, the face/head could use some detail as it looks a bit flat especially the mouth area. My 10pence as always!!

uv's stretched out ok. The little swimming is from a couple of Ngon's that snuck in. They will be dead very soon. Back hoofs are not done. Spotted that just before post. Just showing what I was up to.
Testing texture is from Dannyngan’s tool’s from his website. Thanks Danny.

Mike, thanks.

Dirack, I'll work the tail shot in soon. But not tonight dear, I have a headache. LOL UV's you know. About the head view, see below.

Jango, No problem, Yes the head can use some detail, I had just gotten the basic form in there. I'll be working on the detail of that next though, so will have some close up's soon. I’m figuring out the fit of the eye

I could not resist putting some color on it. I will be putting more detail in to the mesh still. Don't worry. Have some time to do more on this now.

Dirack, Jango. Hear is the head. Does not have the same charm, working on it though. Still lots of details to put in. But thought I could use to coments on the ruff shape on the head.

Dirack, sorry forgot it was a from the top view on the tail. DUH, slaps forhead. But you get the side and back view of them. So let me know if that cuts it for ya.

Thanks mumbo.

Yeah, RubberChicken in the house.
