I want to make snake inspired by black mamba from "Snakes in the City".
Firstly, create textures for the skin. Bumps and colors.
Then, create the body using short extruded circle. Use tthe closed spline curve to shape the body. Attach the body to follow the curve. Later, SubD.
Heres the final wireframe result.
Heres the final solid result.
Make material using the texture created before with bumps normal and colors.
Animate the circle created before accordingly.. short looping frame eg: 10 frame. Then render as OpenGL.
Get those renderd files and use GIMP to make GIF.
And the final result as the first picture.
Update.. White belly
