Okay, part 2 of the multi-step process to bring my chikin to 3d reality. I intend to model this guy in Maya and then animate him.

The feet changed in the sculpture. While building the model I realised that the size of these feet could not possibly carry the weight of the rest of the beast. I also feel that the bigger feet look better.

Sculpy modeled took about 2 days.

I created him with Super Sculpey. Took about two 5 hour sessions to complete. I think the size and shape of the mouth is just fine. Thanks for the input

The big feet suit the chikin!

Very nice job on the skin structure. The teeth are a bit disappointing being modelled in one part - but this could be due to size.

Few more questions from me:

1) Size?
2) Any armature used?
3) Did you bake it in stages?
4) Is it painted? May sound like a stupid question but my super sculpey has this annoying pinkish hue and that model looks rather greenish to me.

It is about 8 inches tall by 6.5 inches wide. I coated it in a mix of liquid sculpey and titanium white oil paint. It was done in several stages, and baked periodically to add stability. There is no armature. Solid Sculpey. The green hue is due more to the lighting situation I believe.
