Thank you man! I’ll block a T-Rex tonight and then will concentrate on those 3 for the whole challenge. Too much work already, because I want to texture, light and render two of them, all of that in about a month :argh:

Thanks for your kind words guys and keep up!
As promised, here’s my first T-rex sketch. 4.5 hours so far for the whole thing and yes, a lot left to fix proportion wise (I know, my pumpkinhead thread got a little off rail but well… it’s Stan Winston’s stuff! 
):
More to come tomorrow night, after I finally finish my move the the new place. Dang, still a lot of boxes around and I just want to model stuff and have fun with this challenge

Gio, dude, big honor to know you’re enjoying them. You’re in the top of the food chain when it comes to creature modeling. You should enter this challenge to kick our asses

Thanks a lot guys. I finished moving to my new place and I’m almost done putting things in place. I’ll start a model for fun tonight and will try to get more progress on the T-Rex.
I’ll post whatever I have done before I go to sleep.
Cheers,

Ok, here’s what I started today. It’s a 3D interpretation of the amazing caricature of Stan Winston done by Sebastian Krüeger (I modified it to get rid of the monster side): http://sebastian-kruger-news.blogspot.com/2008/06/thank-you-for-all-stan.html
6 hours work with a quick polypaint included, starting from Pumpkinhead’s head and teeth. The other parts were built in Maya.
I didn’t have a lot of free time to work on the TRex but I managed to fix some proportions and do a dirty polypaint on him.
I still need to retopo the Trex, the Predator bust and the Stan bust. Long way to go.
Need to sleep now.

Lol, that’s great. All of that from the punkinhead eh. You’re really getting some mileage out of that guy.

Yeah man, hahaha. Did you ever heard the expression “milking the pumpkin”? Me neither!
I was a little concerned about the fact I’m using basically the same base mesh to model other characters but I read a post by Roberto that said it was ok, as far as the mesh was produced during the challenge. So, more power to the pumpkin!!
I’ll change the bottom lip a little and work the likeness a little more and also go back to pumpkinhead tonight.
