Lookin' good. But the beak on your reference seems to stick out more than what you've modeled.

I think you could add more detail around the eyes (wrinkles etc) unless you're going to bump map them of course user added image

Since there are not any big wrinkles I'm not gonna model them. I'm gonna spend a lot of time on the bumpmap though. If I get some time over, I will maybe create a displacement map.

Yeah, definately agree about the beak, just to give it some more character. His skin should definately be fun to work on. Good work so far.

Changed the shape a bit, and started to sketch the shells.

nice progress on blocking in the textures, you've got plenty of time to do them really well user added image

This looks more like a snakes head. Its the eyes that is wrong.

If you look at your reference images, you can see that they consist of the main skin like you have, and what you have as an eyeball is actually the eyelis plus a small eyeball.

The main skin suit as a placement for the eyes, and the extra set of eyelids is to protect the eyes when in the water..

I dunno if I can explain this with ASCII chars, but here I try:

(<o>)

() = main skin that you allready have
<> = the eyelids that you don't have
o = the opening for the eyeball.

Does that make any sense ?

I knew that the eyes was wrong, and I especially messed them up in the last pic, thanks for the input. Now I think I know how to tackle them.

Just hope I dont mess up the UV-map too much though...
