Getting into the challenge a little late here...Here is my take on the creature from the black lagoon. Started to block in some basic shapes now.

Its really getting there! :thumbsup:

But, ..damn, if that's one solid mesh, its going to be a bitch to unwrap. I had to work on something similar a little while back and managed just barely. lol Are you just gonna tile the uv's in ZB perhaps?

PS: Right now it looks like a very cool scifi reptilian alien warrior with armor plating and less like an amphibian, but I guess thats gonna change with softened normals or otherwise rounded-off look via ZB.

Here is an update on this model. Since I didn't make the deadline, I just wanted to finish this one off.

The model is good in my view. But the skin looks like plastic. Nice job anyway.
