Thought this was a hard one with the trial, but smack, bang, saw, wallop! Bonedog, at your beck and call. He chases, he pants, he rolls over, but don't let him lick you 'cause mate, that breath is foul!

No real difficulties with this one, just fiddly placement of the pediculous along the back. I suppose not real enamoured with the walk animation with this one (brilliant gallop though), but I guess I'll put that down to it being a squat bundle of muscle, just like Ritek intended it to be.

I made this a while ago in response to the challenge, but because of the IE problem couldn't post it, I went through a lot of the different base making this one and occasionally the wings would change colors to red or blue while I was using yellow for the body, I thought this was due to the fact that I had the coat and detail lairs set to red and blue but it was just chance, which was a little annoying. I hope in the future they allow certain parts to be painted independently like it has been shown on the building editors. For some reason mouths have a way of staying vertical no matter what the limbs they are on do which makes for some odd looking animations for the outside heads. I had to go with a greater separation distance to reduce collision that I would otherwise have done. There was a lot of using tab for the crests other than that it was pretty simple, the only real trick being using heycorns for they redder part of the cheek area. After reviewing the video I just thought I would mention that wings are a little annoying in that they are so stiff, not bending at all with motion, more like a plane than an animal.

It's a cat, except it's tail has an alien face.
