Nice start. And interesting pick of an animal, this should be fun to model, love the long horns. Wicked! Great choice! :attn:

Great start Rotbol. Definately think you should go for the large horns. They will look really cool winding around the head, as in your reference picture.

Looks good. The horns are definately better. And I really like the way you have done the ear.

another update.

I've started adding details to the horns. I'm doing it on each horn seperately to ensure asymmetri.
