Especially like that ribcage ... amazingly realistic, pardon my asking but do you do this kind of stuff for a living Chris?

Thanks Pony,
I haven't got around to tidying up the mesh yet, still concentrating on the overall shape and definition.
The eye's were a test to see if I could create them with a procedural shader(veins and all that jazz). Glad that I got the concept of the shader right but the look is a little too lifeless at the moment I think, so I may redo them when I start painting textures.
