May/June - Noob - MarkeMark

I'm going to keep it simple this time.

The Tiger shark is one of the most dangerous of all sharks. I Love the subtle striped texture on its back and the overall shape looks very cool.

I can’t wait to get started…

FireWorks (by Macromedia) is the best program to use for all web based graphics.

Back again. I've been busy so my last post was over 30 days ago. Buying a new house is o time consuming.

Anyway, I have started to model the fins and get the proportions correct.

I have played a little with the scene and placing of the main characters.

Now back to the modeling...

Would that top fin not be fully connected to the body? Just something that looks a little wierd.

Thanks guys.

alienscience: the fin is a little strange looking but that is how my ref image looked. I might connect it anyway.

perhaps just make the gap smaller between body and fin - more like the photo reference you gave in the first post. It looks like there is a seperation, but the unconnected fin seems to rest on the body there. Good work so far!
