CGChat entry, Squirrel Hybrid:

MRFlynn

Mornin there guys, just thought id post my w.i.p of my entry so far for the competition. Im not going to make the deadline due to me going on holiday in a couple hours shame really.

Anyways 1304 tris currently would like plenty crits to help me improove, im using XSI so any technical crits arent minded either as Im still damn new to this app.

Anyways if you see my current entry on cgchat it started off horribly but these past few days I started anew an stuck at it.

Hey, I think I remember that concept.

I guess he could use a few alpha planes with fur on them, squirrels are pretty fuzzy. What's the poly budget? I'm sure you have a lot left so a lot of fuzz should be doable.

The arms look a bit strange, it looks like you placed the upper or lower arm (can't tell, I'd say upper but then there seems to be no lower arm) where I'd expect the elbow. It looks like he's wearing something around the elbows.

The knees and shoulders might need a few more loops for better deformation.

The base mesh is coming along nicely, although i agree with above, fur really does add to the model. Check conker, that little guy looks great.
