update

[Per-Anders]

hey but i thought you were a c4d guy! traitor! j/k

cool idea chi, i know that the textures are going to be ultra important with this one for it's camoflage, so i'm really looking forward to what you do.

[Koma]

nice start and cool concept .........preciiiiiiiiious xsi:thumbsup:

[chi]

mdme_sadie-im not a traitor i just like n-gons:)
in my opinion modeling in xsi is like making love to a 50000lb woman....sick, its a pain in the ass and slow...i like c4d everything is so simple but it doesnt work well with my disjointed messy modeling style:) so i depart to xsi for this challenge...but i will be back to c4d soon..mabey...


anyways soon i hope to have arms and legs blocked in and then its on to finer details...and then maby an ent for his and some of his friend to cover:)

What a bizarre little creature :surprised

Very cool though! :D

The model seems to be coming along nicely, although I think it could do with some more folds of fat!

[pigwater]

[TemperalVision]

That looks like its coming along great. I can't wait to see the finished version. :bounce:

[Projectkmo]
