fantastic chucky!

Since its so good, I feel I can nitpick :wink:
IMHO:
I would have liked the tongue to be 'thrown' out of the mouth just as it opens... looking back it feels a little odd to me that the mouth opens and then a bit later the tongue shoots out like a frog...

only other thing i can see is that the tail (at the body end) 'snaps' at the loop, its the only thing i can see whose starting position doesnt loop semelessly...

Thanks everyone, I am not worthy. :)
In regards to the dust, its actually just the preset sparkle particle with a blur on it and a ground mask, using add compositing method, sorry to disappoint with that. :oops:
I agree with your critz funksmaname, I'm not sure why the tail has gone funny and the I think I rendered the wrong tongue, now you mention it, I had actually made a copy to test errors in swf renders and forgot to go back to the original. I shall look again at the colour and timing of the tongue, there are quite a few things bugging about the loop now I look again.

Great work Chucky! Nice to see it with the rider. Very good interaction there, and tons of secondary motion.

Is it just me, or does the creature's neck stretch a bit too much? Maybe use a little arching when not fully extended? That may just be an exaggerated cartoon effect you were going for though.

:wink:

Chucky, that is incredible! It's always a delight to see the professional-level work that can be done with ASP. Would love to see a screenshot of your rig set-up.
