Ichthyosaur Live Blogging Begins... After a fashion

Man things have been way too busy!

Time to get to another project I need to finish before the end of the month...
`
So I claim this is live blogging, but in reality this is a bringing you up to speed post.



So last year I began on a Shonisaurus. This is where it got too. I thought it wasn't so great, but figured I might as well check to see if anything was salvageable (it is always easier to work with an existing model than having to start from scratch... you save a little bit of time).


Man was I floored to find out, despite getting lots wrong on the vertical proportions, overall my Shoni was spot on horizontally! The length of the tail, body, and head were nearly correct!!!

I just had to modify the heights of all of them...

First the head needed fixing.

`

Then the body proportions.

Finally he needed some flippers.
`
So there is where he stands now.
`
Let the real work begin...

Very, very impressive! At risk of sounding too positive, I think this is going to turn out great! (Like just about everything else you do. XD)

"Just about everything else" what's the just!?! ;P

Nothing, really, or at least nothing I can think of. It was just me being prudent.

Just making sure we're on the same page... I was joking for the official record (I think you got it, but just making sure)

I'm rarely happy with my own stuff, so no worries. I don't hold my material in high regard

Yea, I got it. I for one sure know how it's really really hard to come up with something that is fully satisfactory to oneself! It always turns out different from what you planned!
