Thanks a lot to all of you for your critics, I really appreciate them :attn:

For now it's just basic nurbs modelling, took a cilinder and started modifing the mesh, then I turned it into polys and made some subtle changes to it correcting any odd things in Subds.

For now I am cleaning the mesh a bit so that the vertex are all aligned and in place.

I will soon post a wireframe user added image

Cheers

Ok, now this render is not very good, there are a lot of deformation errors, polys that are not in place.. etc user added image

But I thought of posting it so you guys could see some of the detailing in the mouth, ears and nose.

Hope you like it

The mesh is being quite altered because of adding wrinkles and stuff so there are some triangulations and edges which will be corrected as I proceed.

hope you like it.
