Aug/Sept - Noob - Frozen Spirit

Hi I reged a while ago but didn't do anything with it.

I'd like to join this comp. I hope it will be done in time.

I haven't got the skillz of the others, but this will be a good lesson for me.

I draw a picture of what I'd like to make.

it will be a lazy dino. who has a big belly. and a rat's tail.

hope this will be good enough for the competition.

thanx meshue, I hope I see it finished too user added image

but first got to solve this problem, maybe you guys know what to do.

I want to make the mouth, and I selected some faces and extracted them.
this goes well untill I want to rotate the lower part. It gets all
funky. tryd to change the pivot but it still doesen't work.

anyone got an idea what is going on?
...or knows a better way to get the same result?

Did you try to delete the history?

Maybe you should check out Kurt's dog tutorial part one. It shows how to make a mouth just like this in NURBS. Then he coverts it to polys in part 2.

you could use a deformer, or MAYBE an easier option is to convert to sub's and move a couple of edges.
