My 3D Modeling final exam was to pick an animal and model it. I wasn't happy with just doing a blank render, which I turned in, so I messed with it for a while in class to try and come up with a broader concept that was more fulfilling.

This is 90% Maya, although it looks very straight on photoshop to me, which I don't mind. 10% photoshop - notably the wind gusts and the tree branch as well as the shadow.

Sorry it's so small. I didn't think to render a bigger picture before messing with it, so it got the normal render default. Boo.
