Thanks for the comments guys.

Your probably right the bottom lip does look more villianous (is that even a word? lol) when its sticking out more. I might make him look more of a villian than my original concept. I'll bring the bottom lip out again when i get back to modelling the head.

Cheers.

Hi Speedy, looking good. I would get the overall shapes in there then adjust the overall look to suit. Found that making acartoon character into a "real" objects quite a bit of work!

Looking great Speedy, you're doing a really good job so far, and I like the fact he's orange not red, it really suits him. If you do wings for him I'd say keep them small, I think that'd fit with the style you're doing. look forward to seeing him progress, and an animated version in the future would be excellent!

Thanks for the positive comment Dango.

I always wanted him orange, but did try him in red at 1 point but didnt like it so much. Cant point my finger on why, just preferred orange.

I was also thinking if I make the wings, they would be small ones. but with the pose I plan to have him in I dont think u will see them so I may not bother with them. Having said that, I have just made him a tail and you might not see that either. lol. (screens coming soon)

I am setting him up for animation too, so hopefully I will get an animation done at some point. Never finished an actually animation yet, only ever done tests. So if im happy with this, he will get a completed animated scene user added image

Cheers.
