good luck with the ara!

Yups, really can't wait for texturing

One of the trickiest aras colors though. Great choice :attn:

cool stuff.

im eager to see your feather solution.

Live the life you love, love the life you live

Yeah, good start.

im looking forward to the texturing i love the bright and cheerfulness (if thats a word) but looks cool nice choice.

Thanks all ..

I know the animal is not as interesting as it could be, but I am finding the idea of making the feathers to be quite rewarding for me to tackle.

As I said before, I have never done feathers before, so its quite a test for me. I have done animal skin, reptiles, fur and stuff like that - but feathers !!

I have an idea how to do it tho, but I am for sure not positive that it will work - maybe it will be really crappy haha

I have been a bit busy with online gaming, but I will continue the model soon .. no worries
