Here's a file you can look at. I swept the oval with the curve using "Pointy End" parameter.

To make the head, I made a sphere and then "Show Points" and squished it down. Added sphere eyes. Boolean them together and fillet.

Next do legs, then feet, then toes, then suction cups. May want to cut out a mouth and put a fly catching glue tongue.

The head, better illustrated in the pod video I mentioned, would probably be better modeled with a revolve/rail revolve setup as this would be better geometry for future operations. YOu kindof want to try to stay away from point squishing as a method. I just did it because it was a faster result for the demo. If I was going to follow through with the mouth and stuff, I would havce been more carefull with the head creation.




I thought it could end up looking like a lizard. Either that or I may be expecting! :o
