Hello again, instead of starting the monsterhead I decided to go on with the shark first.

just finished the 3rd part. you make the top fin and dorsalfin, then add some gills.

the top fin was made with 3 CV curves and boundary, the dorsal fin is a scaled NURBS sphere and the gills were made by inserting isoparms, then moving CV's.

I made a few changes for my own model though. I noticed that the tailfin was a bit smaller, probably due to rebuilding. So I moved some CV's there.

I also altered the shape of the top fin a bit, so that it looks more like the one from a typical shark, not like the one from the ref pic. (it's a bit smoother now)

and like Mike suggested I made a 4th gill, instead of just 3. Also he moves 3 vertical CV's, while I only moved 2 at a time, because it just didn't look right. The gills went too far on the lowerbody.


It's really a great tutorial, I hope you all take a look at it. I'm really looking forward to the next update (stitching)

so here's what I got so far, I added a wireframe pic so you can see the geometry better. Let me know if something looks wrong plz.
