Well for the next little while i'll be switching gears a bit and working on some low poly stuff on my own time..

This is my sea turtle he is or will loosly be based on a drawing i have from The World of Warcraft design book i have... He will have some sort of of riggin on his back with some guns or cannons..

Should be a lot of fun as he is a neat consept.

That is a nice low poly model there - I like it.

The paint job really lifts it although I would suggest changing the eye from being entirely black to something more human?

I know it isn't anatomically correct but it might be worth a try...

Tickety boo and ta ta for a bit...
