Excellent Work!! Lightwave gives nice results. As I've said before, I'm new to modelling, but have studied different predators (as a biologist) for years. I'm only offering constructive criticism and love your work!! As many artists have said in the past, try and build up an actual profile for your creature. It's great to do awesome work, but awesome to design something that is believable. What does your creature eat? Realistically, no predator would have its eye located in such a place...put it on top (the spherical design would give a wide field of vision). Personally, 2 menacing eyes would be more effective. Also, the mouth doesn't appear very functional. What happens to its teeth when its jaw closes (are the upper teeth still visible, as T.rex and crocodiles or disappear like the 4th tooth in alligators?). All predator's teeth usually point backward INTO the jaw, to preven prey escaping. The teeth I feel need to not taper so much...they look too fragile. Will your fellow have nostrils? Again, if you come up with a hypothetical profile for your creature it will help you come up with some effective improvements to your wonderful design.
