Model:
The model appears similar to the toy and has the general shape. It possesses similar colour with the toy and a Phong E texture to show its shiny, plastic appearance (The toy's plastic but the actually monster is metallic. Hence, the texture served a dual purpose). Much of the proportions are alright and the shape of the eyes, nose and hole on the head appear circular. Extrusions are properly applied for some of the details.
Some of the model's flaws followed. The arm are symmetrical while the toy's isn't. Though this doesn't really make the model horrid, it still does not follow the original toy. Another immediately noticeably flaw is the size of the model's head, which is large in comparison with the toy. The lower jaw is especially large and unlike the toy, the head is straight. The head is supposed to tilt downwards, hence another flaw. The model itself in standing straight while the toy is hunched. Body details are too small. Also, the legs and body are squarish while the arms are to circular, hence it does not exactly resemble the toy. The body itself and very wide and the head appears squished. The tail appears flattened and barely circular while the toy's tail is circular. The tail's vertexes are also not merged with the main body's and merging is virtually impossible due to different number of vertexes. The second "fin" behind the head does not resemble the toy, instead being concave rather than convex. The teeth are also flat, unlike the thick teeth of the model. The model is also missing the tongue, although the mouth it still coloured pink to resemble the tongue.
The final model resembles much of my initial conception. I somehow knew that it will appear cubic rather than circular for some of the limbs, most notably the legs. I also conceived the head to appear flat from the front but it will greatly exaggerated in the model, hence I had to stretch it out to appear large. Overall, despite the many flaws of the model, I am satisfied with the model.
