looks more frog than lizard to me Hehe, the character was originally based on an adult male Bearded Dragon. With a head similar to what you see but more wider. I then drew out pictures and slowly simplified the shapes and objects, mainly removing the more complex scales sticking out from the head. After that I had a great idea to take the drawing, and model the character in Blender, cause it looked cool. Strange tho, cause when you simplify the lizards head it dose look similar to a frogs head. |

I'm going to re-do the feet and change them into hands, as I think it would look better. I might also make his head wider and flatter see how it looks. After that I will probably start skinning him and give him a rigg. |

Got some spare time so I modified the head, and gave him some hands instead. Looking better me thinks.   |

Reminds me a little of the Bile Demon from Dungeon Keeper 2, with the fat belly and the way he apparently pulls himself along with his arms. Of course, that may just be because I've been playing a lot of Dungeon Keeper 2 lately.

Finished off the model, C&C welcomed. I'll soon start working on the UV-map and I'll start rigging.  Before I rigg this the model will need to be cut it up into seperate objects, legs, body, head. Any Pointers on where I should make the cuts? *Edit* Modified the model slightly around the thighs. |

Did a uv-map for him/her? and gave it an amazingly crap texture, (I'll work on that once I get the rest done). |

I forgot to post this  Anyway this is where cuts could be made to split the model into lower, upper and head portions. |

Added a run animation and separated the model into sections.  *EDIT* Didn't like the animation so I started again taking reference from other characters in OA. |

he seems a bit longish That's cause hes standing on his toes rather than his entire foot. It screwed with my mind until I realised that. Your right the head dose look a bit large but any other size and it doesn't look right. Here's the Blend file if you want tweak some bits. |

Spent most of the night & a bit of the morning finishing of the leg animations. I created a small video to show the animation. Window users may require VLC media player. To run the video. http://www.savefile.com/files/689301Time to start working on his torso now... C&C welcomed greatly |

I've finished animating him. But I'm having some difficulties with the Tags. I add them in but I cant seem to get them to follow the animation... Helps will be greatly appreciated. *EDIT* Figured it out had to parent the Empty to a specific Bone(using Pose Mode) rather than the object. |

Done all the tagging but having difficulties with exporting it to .md3 Is there any tutorials out there to help me set everything up right for Open Arena? Heres the Blend file if you want to check it out. |
