its looking good...but that image took an age to load....:eek:

[JIII]

now that is a nice looking picture.

one comment though.

when was the last time you saw a bird stand up straight? probibly never except when it is leaping into the air to begin flight.

you might want to put the guy in a more birdlike pose a crouch or something.

thouse feathers are kicking dude, post this in the gallery when you are done.

Hey that is looking great. I love the textures and the skirt. A few comments. Are the holes(which I really like) in the skirt alpha channel and going through both sides? It may just be the way I'm seeing it. You may want to check that. And does he need thighs you would see through the holes. Well done.

Thanks. yes its alpha channel that goes all around. He actually has got armored thighs (see concept pic) but with a white background we cant see the metal under the skirt.

i tried making the head, its really not easy. usually we see eagles from the side cos from the front their ugly but not this ugly. i knew the head was going to be hard but really now im stumped.
anyone got any good pics of eagle heads ( seeing the face and not from the side please

No

what you did is to mistpye the link. You should copy and paste it next time. I did this earlier today and I also got nothing. however its not that hard to fix.

[Black Rain]

its just that my host isnt right. ok, it does work, if you right click on the pic, copy the link and paste it in the address bar , then press back and its in:bounce:

[Black Rain]

its in the gallery now (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62160)

[flingster]

its cool...any chance of a wire..
i like the wing size on the textures pic...but on the gold one i would have like to see a bigger wingspan...more imposing for the gold...also the helmet plume to be thicker....and a better sheild fastening....that said...its excellent work...especially for yuor 3rd model....friggin incredible!!! good job..:thumbsup:

[Black Rain]

heres the wire. haha, i put his shield on backwards, that explains some things....
