Only bit I can see is in the centre of the tail, looks a little odd, but maybe that's just the way the mesh moves.
Really looking forward to the textures!
And nice to see you got the mray GI working nicely too

The skin has bean riped of that middle part of the tail. Hears a close up.. the bones are not round enufe.. but that will change.
oh yeah the skin is supposed to droop down, but there is a lattis deformer for that, that is not active.

it sure looks like a lot to me. But then I have watched it grow.shrink, divide, and render ever render.

However, I do not think there are many, if any, that would not agree, pony has real talent. So, biased or not he is good.

When I first UV mapped this one it toke about 40 hours. If I did it agin I'm sure I could do it under 10 now.. much less if I redid the model also. But don't ask me to try because I'm to tired of it after cleaning up all the problems from not having a good plan.
Are you texturing the tank now ? Think I will pop buy the thread and look, when I get back up.

C+C if you like on the colors. its very simple at the moment I will of corse be doing a lot more with it.. but like I don't think the color on the muscles is working very well at all.
