exterior shot of house

I just modeled the house that will be used for the exterior shot. I have yet to texture the house, will get it done soon. 

closed_wing

Alan suggested that i have 2 models of the birds. One with the wings closed, and the other with the wings open. So that its easier for me to animate the bird flying and landing.

textured_wall

Done with the bird model. I have also texture it, but i will improve on it when i have the time, i will be moving on to my old man's model first, i have yet to complete his legs. Since this bird will have its most appearance..ahem..."air time" haha...on the window's ledge, so i placed it there for a test. It seems quite appealing to me, and comments that i have received is that the bird looks appealing. So in a way, i have achieved my objective stated in my learning contract regarding appealing models.
