looks good for a work in progress. Looks fine for now just dont forget to add the little details like segmented limbs and some of the organic looking growth.

Spoon! thanks for the feedback Tick. I plan on blocking out kinda a rough basic model, then go back and add details like the little spikies on the back hump and back of the head.

I think all i did tonight was add wings. :evilbat:
lemme know what you think.

The wings look nice!

I'd say the references (at least the ones that are large enough to work from ;-)) have a bit thicker and shorter legs.

Android- I totally forgot about all the trophies from the smash brothers game. That would be an awesome reference. Thanks for the reminder!
