impressive… thumbs up !
I love the slime around the tongue. wonderful.
What is it for ? Are you using this one for a longer animation ?
I really hope so.
wonderful !!!
great all, modelling and texturing !!!
I hope to see the animation !!
thx for posting 
PS: can you show us your render tree ? thx
Very fine work
I especially like the slime in the mouth and the neck deformation in the animation
Nice done
Cool Creature! Nice deformation on the neck.
…watching again 
the ear also looks great.
I’m always curious about things like this, Did you parent the teeth after the blend shapes (if you used them?) looks like the gums and Teeth are a seperate mesh?
Hey G.
Looks like you’re picking up XSI very nicely … how do you like it compared to messiah so far? Why did you use LW to render, G? Is it b/c the workflow is somewhat better between LW and ZB2 or b/c you’re more familiar with LW? Also, how did you get the animation data from XSI to LW … I was going to say Point Oven but it doesn’t support XSI just yet.
Cheers,
Chikega
Hi.
Thank you
Im glad you like it.
I cannot show the shader tree, since it was rendered in Lightwave , so… there isn’t any 
why Lightwave? because it’s way faster then Mental Ray. ( and I have only one computer
the animation data was all transfered with Point Oven (beta)
Great work !
Superb!
Very cool animation
Excellent! Super animation!.
Would you mind posting a screen shot of the XSI rig/bones for the XSI-noobs here?

Wow!!! top row stuff…this is really amazing!!
The picture likes excellent but i can´t download the video.
as always, jonkajtys, your work is beautiful. nice rigging as well - is that also in xsi?
the only thing i would crit is the saliva coming from the mouth - it looks a bit too static for spittle - i would expect some strands to break off, and dangle down, and maybe also fly out of the mouth.
but altogether lovely,

Hey Greg! Great work as I already told you. I love the saliva and the general mood of your scene. Top row material

wow i’m posting near the great mamafaka antropins! ! !
Great job G.Jonkajtys! It was really nice!
Hope you can share some insight here. There are few question I would like to ask;
How do you set up the bone for the facial expression and exspecially the neck. Love the muscle movement on for the neck. If possible, care to post a screenshot?
Probly this is easy, how did you do the saliva?
Thanks!

Wow what a video =) yes the muscles are fantastic, it´s a real creature, but i think will be great alittle bit of movement (gyro) around the neck (looking the camera)
TOP ROW
thank you everybody,
here are some screengrabs from my XSi scene.
for the underskin muscle movement, I have used the Shrink wrap deformer.
for saliva - cage deformer.

wonderful method to create the saliva !!
