heyas; it is a very fine model! very well done, professional quality. i'd be the first person to support anyone who wants to make 3d modelling a career, (or at least a side career :) ). but to be objective... if you posted this as a freebie, i (and many others) would nab it right away. some people would play with it and make a scene (like... who was that making a morphed aqua-raptor critter?), some would just save it, but it would see a pretty good amount of use. if you sold it.... well, not as many people would flock to your door. people would go: 'well, it IS nice, but what would i use it for??' they would have to justify the cost (whatever it would be), even if it is just a fun toy. so it would see less use. now, i could see this as, say, part of a package deal. say, five sea critters for 15 bucks. on the other hand... davo started making weird BEMs and selling them, and is doing rather well, as i gather. i woulda thought a BEM would be a limited-use/limited-appeal item, but apparently not. on another hand, if i made something based on somebody else's mesh, i wouldnt feel as if that should be something i'd make money from. i'd give it away. (which wouldnt mollify zygote, if i were giving away their raptor's head!) so.... talk to zygote about it, show it to them. maybe they'll make you an offer ;) after that, you can mull it over and decide what to do with it.
