Snail Boy Formerly Known as Four Legs

So Mr Four Legs evolved to Snail Boy here which I gave to my students to play around with for their texturing assignment. Decided not to detail the hell out of it as it'll defeat the whole purpose of learning good texturing for them. Although, I am entertaining the idea of fleshing out more of his details for my own personal fun. Anyways, in my own little head, Snail Boy here is supposedly the missile man (he uses a slignshot) for the Seelie Court's army. Initially he was meant to be the mean, ridiculously mobile infantry of the Unseelie Court but somehow he ended up looking more gentler and softer than I planned. Heh.

*To the clueless, The Seelie and The Unseelie are basically Scottish classification of fairies :P

  2. I think I'll answer for both me and Nad here. We're into organic stuff. Come to think of it, we were trained back then to specialize in organic modelling. But great suggestion there. Robots/mecha/structural stuff. It's hard to model those (at least from my POV) cause you need to understand the function for evert part you're modelling.
