Sea lion

I started working on a sea lion I started about a year ago that I did for a challenge (that I never finished).
I'm hoping to finish an image for once; the original plan was just to do the whiskers and flippers then start texturing but I might do a bit more work on it now because I quite like it...
I definitely need to work on the flippers and tail more.

What do you think is the best thing to do with his whiskers? They're curves at the moment.

Looks good man, though I would cut down the edges going around the back from the fins, may get wonky with smoothing if you don't

See attached image, something like that should work

Red = Delete
Yellow = Add

Nah, it's clearly a female... unless I wanted a baby sea lion...

I guess I just got fed up with modelling elephants... wait, that can't be right...

I'm not sure where to go with modelling now, do sea lions have any mode definition?

I might just get on with texturing in the hope of actually finishing something for once.

Just had a look at a few of them on Google, seems if it's an adult it should be fatter along the back and longer from the fins to the tail

Maybe a bit chubbier in the chest too

You might be right..I'm not sure

I'm trying to go for the kind of sea lion you'd see in a sea lion show (not one of the fat males though).
Although for how much fat mine has at the front I think he does perhaps need more at the back....
