looking very good mate, reminds me of some of the settings in World of Warcraft. obv yours looks better though much more detail even in the early stages.

Naaaaaarf, sorry just got done watching Pinky and the Brain.

Texturings getting there, I like the idea. And thanks to you Kurt I finally got the basics of texturing down, so thanks for that and the knowledge of modeling.

just a couple of questions: why all the chequerboard pattern when you are laying out the UV? and how do you do the rope bridges?

The checkerboard pattern shows how the skin is laid out as to see where there is too much stretch and not enough. Other-wise, I wanna know how to do that rope bridge too!

On-topic:
Very nice modelling!! I agree that it looks like something inspired by Dr. Seuss! I like it a LOT! KUTGW!!!
