Is it possible to see another angle with a different colour background? It's hard to say much about it as it's not easy to see.

OK well from that one angle it looks interesting but a little on the square side. The armour (?) on the arms is a good effect.

I see you are enjoying the conversation...if you don't want comments thats fine 8)

However the back legs look a bit on the small side compared to the front. You could try beefing them up and seeing what it looks like.

i actually liked your first one..it was a bit squre at certain area but thats something you can fix with the split polygon tool, smoothing and moving vets around.

But if you want to start a new thats fine..is it going to be the same idea as the first one?

looks good so far. Keep it up.

you cant smooth verts...but i think you can smooth just parts of the object just by selecting the faces you want to smooth and the smoothing it ( polygon> smooth)

I like what you have going on. I am really interested to see it with the fur- how will you be doing the fur? are you going to use PaintFX or a plug in? I ask because I have no clue how to achieve that effect.

I do have one comment if you are starting over- You may want to model you character in a nuetral pose , so that you could rig it and pose it any way you like in the end. If you only want the one particular pose then disregard this C+C... user added image
