kamilostek suggested that I skin a moth, an emperor moth (http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/emperor-moth-photo-1038.html) in particular. The Steve model doesn't lend itself to moth, butterflies, or insects very well but I decided to take on the challenge. In order to get the skin to work, I visualized the moth as having flown into, and wrapped itself around, a pole. You will have to spin the model to see the wings properly. I had to simplify the coloration of the moth but tried to keep its distinctive eye spots and red markings. I also had to create a head with eyes to make the skin complete and playable. I decided not to add a mouth because it looked too cheesy.

I use skincraft (web-based) as I own a Mac and can't get GIMP to run on it. Skincraft isn't great, no tools, but it gets the job done if you work at it.

Don't let the nay sayer get you down. If this contest doesn't work out you can always do another one.

I'm working on it now. It is giving me some problems getting all the parts to work out. The head is a little unusual. I think I will be able to find enough time to get it out midweek.
