Here is what I have so far, I have been working on the low-res model, I'll have to refine the sculpting details

I managed to be at 5376 triangles

Like that?

Here is what I have so far, I added an ''articulation'' in the shell design so it can open without bending too much It's still early work, The veins in the balloon wil be better and shell ''leaves/petals'' will be symetrical and prettier :-p http://i61.tinypic.com/2yl3ehy.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/...

How about now ?

Started working on more details

I have again changed the proportions of the front claws :-O

I would be interested in modelling it, but could I modify the concept a bit to make it more dynamic?

How about now? tried to reduced the width of the arms and increased blade width
