Well I have to say this is an awesome topic and I can't bare to give up a chance like this. The model I want to do is the creature from the movie Scooby doo. Now normally, I would start scratch but I plan to take a pre-existant model which is actually my very first low-poly character and build up on that one so that it's bareable to be put in my portfolio. lol.

Enclosed I'll show you a pic of my pre-existant model, which is 2000 polys, and a pic of what I'm aiming to model from the movie.
Oh yah Ive been tinkering around with my website, if you have some free time.. give it a shout. Its not fully functionable, but any cristcism is helpful.
