Hi!

I`ve created it two months ago for a movie sequence where group of people send pigeons with a flaming ropes attached to the birds. The model will be used in a wide shot, and there will be a lot of pigeons in it (at least more then 20). No closeups ;) And I KNOW it is too fat... :D I have to make some tweaks before we will start to create the sequence.
Any comments, esspecially about technical issues, are welcome.
BTW: Any ideas how can I improve the part where long feathers joins the wing body, without loosing simplicity and performance?

I don't know I've seen some pretty fat pigeons, but yep he does look a bit large in the stomac! Great work on the creature both in the modelling and the texturing. This is not something I have tried to model so its difficult to offer advice, but perhaps the ridges along the tops of the wings are simply too wide and thick.

actually it looks like a pretty healthy pigeon, i live in london and constantly surrounded by the buggers... some of them are like, twice as big if not more, than yours.

but looks good, shame your not keeping it real by having messed up feathers and chunks out of them (theyre pretty agressive)

great work tho :D
