It looks like a big nosed teddy bear with a backpack. Not that that’s a bad thing. It looks pretty good. It just doesn’t look like a snail. It’s probably the hands and feet, and the standing up posture.
thanx Orinoco for the feedback.
for the look, i’ll just post the reference pics
but i do think that there is something weird about the legs and arms. will work on that.
I would love to have some feedback on the rig, and if the topology is suitable of animation
i think i shouldn’t have applied the subsurf modifier, but want to hear your thoughts first, to see if i should append the rig to an earlier mesh without the subsurf applied.
