I cannot pass up an animal related project.

Just moments after this photo was taken both men were shot dead by a third man hunting for the elusive but unfortunately far from extinct DORK:

And, no, I won't be modeling bow hunting dorks in really bad camo ... the WARTHOG, silly!

Dave

Sounds original lol. Look at your thread name by the way.

oops! I meant NORM (cut and paste ya know)... maybe some one of influence can fix it for me;) ... Now who's the DORK!! HA HA!

Dave

Edit - Fixed it all by myself ... but, yeah I'm still a dork

cool head to model and good to see you back in dave :)

Glad you are in this comp. Swanky :)

Warthog is a great idea!

Hi guys!

Getting started roughing out the head

Its taken a bit of studying to grasp how these little buggers are put together. They have quite a bizzare jaw and skull structure.

Dave

Start good swanky!

Getting close to finished with roughing him out. Hes gonna need a lot more work around the eye socket, brow, ear, and those freaky choppers ...

Also, I once hes far enough along I'll make his ears and tusks asymmetrical

Dave

Wow. That looks really great. I really like the way you'ver modelled the tusks and the nose. I would be curious to see a photo from below to show how you dealt with the mouth. Good work!

looks great nice modeling swanky :attn:

cool model and a nice clean mesh :)

it would be good to see the mouth area, or at least a side head view

Mouth area so far ...

Yeah, your model looks excellent. Great choice of animal and thanks for posting the side view of the mouth. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
