Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

But even so, I don't just "plug" these shapes together. I usually heavily modify them to suit a specific purpose. I didn't think such things were allowed for this challenge, though, so I built this one from scratch. The more you do something, the quicker it goes, believe me.
And I've still got some work to do. The head doesn't really look like my drawing yet. I'm going to add eyes to at least 2 of the snakeheads, convert the nurb snakenecks to polys and merge them with the heads.
Should look pretty gnarly when all put together. 
EDIT: I should mention that I made all the "stock" models I use... I don't cheat and grab free models from wherever. lol

Kurt says he's ok with me staying for now.
I gotta keep the noise down, though, or he's calling the cops!

changing the teeth of the headsnakes.... I think this looks a bit more "demon snake"-like.

She kind of reminds me of the woman on the old Egyptian coins... Cleopatra or Nefertiti or something.

This is the final drop I *must* find out how to model such stuff.
I do not support Bush! Nor Saddam! Long live UN!
