Well, it's been awhile since i've posted here but just want to get some feedback on what everyone thinks so far. I'm almost done. Just need a few minor tweaks then texturing.

I'm with shadeblade on this one, this is an awesome model, awesome job. The only thing that kinda caught me (don't know if it's just that it's 1:55am) is that in between the from legs, right before the abdomen starts. The chest area looks flat, the rest of the model has great muscle definition except that one area caught my eye right off. Kinda wierd angle for that though so it might just be those pics. Again awesome job!!!

Looks great. The ears are the only thing that look odd to me. Too large or too thick... not sure.

Thanks everyone so far for your imput. My minor fix-ups are little deatails in the ear area and possibly adding less extend claws in the back legs.

wow!

Did you model her straight into that pose, or have you rigged her?

littlelostalien,

No, I actually had her in a nutural pose then I used lattices to get this pose. Then I added more detail to the geo.

I haven't rigged it. Don't know if I will since my focus right now is just modeling and texturing. I may down the road but not telling when.
