The final will be posted soon, polishing up some rough points basically- only spending an hour a day on it really slows the process down. Kind of nice forcing myself to space out work on a piece for a change.
Loving how this critter turned out, think the direction I went might surprise some people- the phrase "surprisingly plausible" comes to mind. Definitely one of my more...whimsical...designs(my inner engineer and biologist may be raising an eyebrow) but my inner 7 and 12 year old nerds tell me its awethome which sort of goes a long way to bridging that gap between nerd-cynicism and "just go with it".
