Really nice! Just the spine seems to be a bit too harsh down the middle of the body user added image

. I try to model flawless in polys like you do there (with no noticable creases and such) but i just cant user added image

. Great job.

thanks.. about the spine.. well I haven't even tweeked yet.. will get to it.. the spine was just inset becouse it was needed for combining the 2 halfs..

well we will see what we can do for you on your model, and creases..

WHOA!!! :wow: Man you work faaast That's taken shape REALLY quickly! I now withdraw all I said about making the "toon hair" - you'll have enough time left to mess about will using curves at this rate user added image

! *Gulp* I gotta start to work faster now!

I've attatched the legs to the body on my critter (all still in low poly), added eyelids, made a temp eye texture and installed nostrils in the head. I've still gotta attatch the head, add a dangly flap of throat skin, and then fine tune everything (will take AAAGES!) before I can say that I've finished modelling. I'll post an updated pic in a couple of hours.

Whoa Pony, you´re a very fast and efficient modeller. At this speed you might even rig her.

Looking mighty good bud.

As of JB´s entry, I find it cute. user added image

(So my money is going with that one)
Work on it though, or Pony will stampede you from here to .. Pluto.

Thanx for your vote of confidence Adl user added image

Here's an update - All limbs are attatched (except the eyelids - which aren't really "limbs" user added image

).

So now I'm ready for the fine tuning and a bit more detail in places - which will hopefully make the worst case scenario only being stampeded to Mars not Pluto user added image
