Heres a little update had a chance to do some more work on it today and ive thinned out the body and head, moved a few stray vertacies and added some detail. Have a look comments are welcome!
However this is the furthest i've gone on pretty much any project, ive done basic texturing putting on simple textures and some simple lighting but ive not had to try and do anything this complex... what is going to be the best vid/tutorial to take me through texturing?
I think its looking pretty good for my 5th ever creation but obviously i want to make it as good as i can! Oh and i realize it doesn't have any eyes yet lol
ADDED: Thought i should add this that the rear foot has been re done because i showed it to my brother and he pointed out the that anatomy was wrong and that there should have been an extra joint in the foot and things - Something i didnt really think about.
Thanks
Tom

Theres nothing really to Crit... it seems just fine. Of course you could use some details here and there, but this is just a WIP... so I can imagine your going to add those details.....
Theres not really to much more to say... nice work!
As for a good texturing tutorial, I'm not sure, though I am sure one of the other members will be able to hook you up!!
Keep it up!!

It got a nice amount of details to it and you seem to understand how to "draw" the lines. Keep it up!
And yes it is alot easier to texture something that is mirrored(half the work)

it is a mirrored image. the issue im going to have (i think) is that the wings arnt flat so this is going to make texturing a little harder but not overly difficult...
Ive downloaded the dragon texturing video from this site its pretty good takes you through it step by step and includes everything i need so hopfully i will have some done today
