Hey tweetytunes - I think that everything has to be made within the timeframe of the challenge, though to be fair, I didn't see Mike mention that rule within the guidelines this time around.

Nonetheless, this is a great looking model so far - the expression in the face is great. A couple of small things that stand out at the moment is the nose which just looks a little thick at the top (though I can see that you've softened it up a bit from the pointed nose earlier) and also that the model is looking just a touch top heavy - I think you might want to pull the outstretched arm into the body just a touch. This is going to look cool once you get all of the snakes going on.

Any chance of a wireframe?
