hey thanks guys for your comments, I was hoping you would like the 3rd character. So I have now a tired worn out beast (donkey) a giant fat burden on his back (monster) and a cute, maybe half drunk possom relaxing at the top of this escapade. Once I finish the details on his, then im going to start fine tweeking everyone, throw on some expressions, and finish the load on the back, and then call it a month! gasp!!! thanks for all the C&C guys, I appreciate it a lot!!

Hey all,
well, as you know, ive only had minimal time to update this thing, and I try to whenever my short, art, or school, are not in the way. Its very tough for me, as I talked to one of the members of the group tonight, and the extra time even though its minimal working on this BOB, should go to the short, for that is so much more important to my career as well as the other guys in the group. So my time will be spent with that until we finish, im sorry, I do plan on posting my final image before the deadline, but for now, I will not have time to update… Thanks for all your C&C thus far, its helped me finish this thing even if its 3 or 4am in the morning that I have time to work on it. So, look for the final image as my last post!, This challenge has been great, and I had a great time doing it and meeting you all at the same time… Its been fun!

another render that just finished… blue color
thanks for the reply phil, you have a fantastic model too!
P.S. I call them the 3 drunken amigos! the 2 ontop are the keepers of the great tasting fermenting beer barrels, they must travel across the snowy mountains to make their yearly shipment to my cabin house at the tip of mount RealHigh. They require a cheap means of transportation, what the heck! a donkey will work! what a BURDEN! as the rodent ontop drinks a pint and relaxes the whole way through… sorta of a means to an end of a fantastic beast of burden challenge, been fun! Look out for my final composited image tonight. shortly

Just wanted to say thankyou again. I just wish I had more time on this thing was all, but I think we all wish the same things on the matter.
erilaz - wow, I really appreciate your comments bud, means a lot! I sort of got lost in this challenge with so many great participants in here, not to mention 300 threads, kinda hard. Either or, im really glad you liked the finish product, tnx again.
Stange - Hey, you can purchase the tape for a measly 100grand, at your nearest beast of burden outlet! thanks for the post bud!
