I can’t believe I spent 40 minutes trying to model just the beak (at the top). I also spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best angle to mirror the model, so I had to redo the base around 3 times. I failed my rule of not trying to do something perfectly.
At least texturing it tomorrow will be fun.
