Thanks MarlonJohn user added image

Hammer.Horror - ur right they dont have 8 joints. Not every joint will bend only the parts that are meant to like the knee and ankle. Dont ask my why i made more bones than was neccesarry but I remembered a guy doin a tutorial once and he made extra bones even those that didnt bend so I just followed him. His was on a human and he did 2 bones for the top of the arm, then two bones for the forearm.

I've made a start to the cops head and hat. the hat needs some sorting. this was done of the top of my head but I just got some reference and see that it needs re-shaping but thought id show it anyway.

The dog has had the most work, the cop is early stages at the moe. I was thinking bout my final scene and thought I would sketch it quicky to get the idea accross. Just added a light in photoshop though ^_^

Cheers Chirone,

Yeah throughout the comp, Ive been thinking Horror and what would scare me (and i dont scare easily) but a flesh eating zombie dog just standin there on his own lookin at you in the night like hes about to come chase you with nobody else around would freak me out....if i didnt have a shotgun that is user added image
