I like the decomposing also.. and do plan to have more.. I was thinking that it would be eazyer to do in textures.. the decomposing part. that and also adding it in after I have him bilt. eazyer to mirror a compleat body, and thin poly split and make localised decomposition. I'm hoping it works good like that..

Thanks.

if you're wondering how to animate legs like them theres this too =) I love how his head basically tays in the same place. Wish i could do that.

BTW did you know they almost did Jurrassic park in Stop-motion? Actually it was an improved version of stop-motion, with motion blur (called Go-motion!)

yeah, thankyou. it is a lot like the refrence sketch. I noticed a cuple of problems with the ref sketchs though.. some things not matching up.. sticking more to the side view one though since its still the better of the 2..

Looks very good! The area around the eyes seems a little flat to me. Looking at your sketch, it seems to have a little more pronounced brow and a small ridge to the side of the sockets. Nitpicky, yes, but its looking so good overall, I have to pick on small details. user added image
