I really love the playfullness of this piece. And yet it is a very tight model. Really great stuff. I look forward to the finished product!

Your 3d character does not show the same emotion of your sketch which i liked so much.
Give him deeper rings around his eyes (don’t know the correct term for that :shrug: ). In your sketch he looked more defensive like beeing afraid of a stronger animal. Maybe work on that!
But apart from that: great!

thanks for the advice. yes, i had forgotten to capture the emotion, but then again i didn’t have an emotion in mind for my concept sketches…lack of thought/depth in concept? probably

Looks great :), Very original character 
BTW: what is wing 3D? It looks like Nendo to me, is it similar? What are the benefits of modeling there? Is it hard to export/import between Maya/wings3D?

wings3d is a free app. some guy couldn’t purchase Nendo (ever try to buy a license to Mirai?) and decided to write his own app. it has most of the functionality of Nendo, and is updated quite often by the guy. it can import and export .obj and .3ds files, among several others (if u want to import/export between wings and maya, you’ll need the obj import plugin for maya)…once you get used to the interface, the tools are great…especially for a free modeling package! - but, no rendering…

Ah yes, good old wings3D. I have also had the pain of trying to get a hold of a Mirai evaluation.
Why Nendo? WHY???

Such a cool head! Very nice. Strong, and cute at the same time! Different angles would be nice!
