Hey Kurt! Love your work and love your tutorials too!

Is this part of a future tutorial on SM or is it just a personal project? And what are your plans for any future tutorials on SM? Thanks!

Really nice texturing work! Can't wait to see it finished.

As far as the model goes, great job on that, as well. But, have you thought of adding a bit of bulk to it? As younglion stated, it does actually look like a young pup (I think that's what the baby hippos are called?) because of the thinnes of the legs and body. But, if were going for a pup(again, ?), I wouldn't change a thing!

Looking good, Kurt. Keep up the great progress! user added image It seems like you're going with a slightly cartoonish style to this hippo, am I right?

any chance you will show us how to rig this beast? you havnt covered rigging quadrapeds before, a nice walk cycle or some playful animation to go with the rig would be nice.
