Hey guys, got to work on it for about an hour, didn't get to far, let me know what you think. Its all Nurbs Patches, and Its not sewn or cleaned up yet, still needs alot of work, just trying to get the basic shape. Thanks,

hey guys. Here is another angle... Kinda making up my own muscle structure here, because I don't have enough references. Let me know what you think. I spent alot of time on the neck, making it look like its skin with muscles underneath it. Thanks,
Brian
