Man's slightly worse, but still decent, friend

Or just MSWBSDF, for short. Still doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, does it?

Looking at a previous work of mine, I wanted to do more with its eyes. I also liked the colour scheme, so I ended up taking it apart and building MSWBSDF.

In the end, MSWBSDF doesn’t share much with its ancestor. I wanted to include the wings at one point, but decided against it, as the wings would have to be very big, and MSWBSDF can barely support itself considering the size it has right now.

Background info

I figured making MSWBSDF a quadruped would improve stability, especially when considering the tail as further support, but ooh boy, this thing very quickly gives way.

I tried a few new things here. Two of the horns on MSWBSDF have been painted white, and I also used rubber bands in certain areæ. This thing is also the tallest creation I’ve built thus far.

Looking toward the future, I’ll probably use the eye-design multiple times. I’ve fallen quite in love with it.

Ooh boy. First new creation in nearly a year. I’ve been tinkering with different things all the while, but never found something I wanted to stick to and finish properly. I’m glad to have found inspiration to finish something.

LDD file

A .lxf file of MSWBSDF can be found in dropbox:

Bright Bluish Green parts are placeholder parts for pieces not in LDD. Should it not be clear which piece represents which, just pm me or mention this in a reply to the topic and I’ll make a list.

These pictures are low-quality ones taken by my 3DS’ camera, back when I finished the design and hadn’t ordered the pieces for MSWBSDF yet.
