Description
This creature, "Tugga" in 2D has been spooking around in my head, since 1983, when I went to Randwick N.S.W. Art College.
This is my 3rd attempt at Zbrush2 and I resurrected my 24 year old "Tugga", now with family (little Tigga) and in 3D !
Next step will be to rig this beast...
Cheers jif3d

Damn Jeff! Looks like your modeling skills just took a huge leap forward! This critter is pretty amazing! Damn ugly too! :P Cant wait to see the results of your rigging! Maybe you'll have to put out a tutorial on it too- Pretty kick-ass work so far man!
Freaking awesome! I had no idea you were tinkering with stuff like this. It's great to see you give some life to this concept that's been around for so long. I too look forward to seeing it after some rigging work.
Great work in ZBrush--inspires me to use ZSpheres more completely...great character--and terrific work with the 3D version !
What a cool little character.
great character concept, Zbrush looks awesome..... just thinking about getting it.
your talent for drawing and lightwave are exceptional.really awesome critters, but I would not want to buy shoes for them
Awesome work, I really like seeing the concept and progress images!
Very cool lil' character Jeff. Looking forward to the progress on this. :-)
I think I saw a bunch of these skittering off of a ship in Vancouver harbour a few lifetimes ago..... they all turned and looked at me at once and then disappeared into a drainpipe.... nobody goes into the Vancouver sewers anymore... nobody... skeevy little kritters.... neat modeling!
Cool work. You did a terrific job. Fantastic done.

Those are some mighty big rat teeth. How fun to re=create this creature in 3D. Really great job. CC
Great work!!!!
WOW!! Talk about incisors! Excellent concept-to-creation!!!
Awesome!!! Very intersting work!!
You did a wonderful job on the drawings back then and now you bring him out to 3d . wonderful work
I reckon Tugga would be able to take on the croc with Tigga's help, what a fine set of teeth. I love how you have shown how this fella came about, but boy I hope Syd doesn't come up against them. Great modelling.
Awesome monster, Jeff!!! I remember the days when I really drew with a pencil and paint!
Nice modelling. Great work.
That is one scary looking rat. Glad you finally got it out of the old noggin and into your PC!
Fantastic work with the ZSpheres Jeff ... Impressive little model
