Working here! Maybe it's fixed.

 

Nice owl! Makes me think of Snowbird of Alpha Flight fame (for comic book fans).

 

For the uninitiated, Snowbird is a shapechanger (from the Canadian Superhero group Alpha Flight) that can change into all manner of animals but always snow white in color. Really cool effects produced by John Byrne in the comics.

 

Looking forward to seeing 'her' fly!

Hi, thanks for all the replies.

 

Rodney, glad you like it. It won't be white when I am finished. I want to get it rigged and make sure I don't need to change any splinage before I start decaling.

 

Scott, I probably will add some bump maps but I definitely don't want to add any more splines. I would like to be able to make his wings fold up. As the model is now the mesh of the wings is so dense I am not sure I will be able to do that effectively.

 

Mike, I didn't use any rotoscopes. I sort of do my sketching in AM. I made a few versions before this one. After collecting as many images of owls as I could find I modeled a very crude one and progressively refined it.

 

Here is a wireframe of half of the owl. I would really like to reduce the wings splines alot but keep the look I have. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
