So after spending the best part of 2 days watching and reading various tutorials I have started modelling the first of my 3 deep sea creatures.I started off by inserting a plane and putting a reference image I created by tracing a photo in illustrator. I then drew a box and used it to create the basic shape of the fish. I created the teeth by making a cone and using the 'bend' modifier.

I obviously have a very long way to go but it is very pleasing putting the initial parts together. Il definatly look at how im constructing the fins because so far the way im doing it doesnt seem to be working the way I want.
