Fun little model I've been working on in Wings. As many guessed, inspired by Martin Krol's (http://ambient-whisper.cgcommunity.com/) work. Need to figure out what to do for the head and neck...any suggestions? Thanks

Fixed up the legs (realized I put them on backwards), still trying to figure out what to do with the head and neck. Here's a recent render

Very nice

But I think it would be better if you make wings for this model
and make wires from its head to its neck.
For its eyes , you make its eyes glow in red color.
But realy it's a nice work.
Please tell me that how much time did it take for you to make this model.

Thanks for the replies

Mrtcg: Yeah, I still plan to model some wings, as well as something that attaches the neck to the body. Not quite sure what you mean about the wires from the head to the neck; it already has some of those. Maybe you meant something else? As for the eyes, yes, they will glow once I start texturing and rendering in Strata.
Not really sure how long it took to model, I just open it up and add things whenever I find the time.

About the wires that I said:
---------------------------------------
I meant you can make holes for its ears and make some wire from its ears to the back side of the head.
also you can make a tail for it , a tail like the tail of dinosaurs but smaller.

Please tell me how long are you working with this 3d software and do you know the other softwares like maya ,3dsmax, etc ..

thanks

That is incredible.

Now I have the videos of MK building that tiger of his (which is what I'm guessing you got the concept from). Did you look at his video or just the pictures?

Anyway, it is looking great!:thumbsup: :bounce:

Jb5k1 I mostly just looked over the pictures to get some inspiration, though I have seen the video before. Thanks for the compliments :]

Haven't found time to work on the model lately, but I realize that I never put an old render up, so I guess I'll do that now. Nothing new in terms of modeling here, rendered in Strata Base.
