To finish the model off I mirrored the mesh, this was so it would be symertical like the concept.

After I decided to do the uv’s. I decided to start with the chest piece

I then clicked on cylindrical mapping

The u’v came out like this

After I selected the bottom wings top part I then clicked on planar mapping set to z

Here is the uv’s

I did the same with the other side

After I did the sides, with planar mapping on x

I then placed the uv’s like this

I then did the top and bottom parts with the option set to y

The uv’s so far looked like this

Afterwards I went to the top wings and set the uv’s option to z

This is what the uv’s looked like so far

To make the uv’s like this

I then selected the side pieces

I select automatic mapping

I did this with all of them in order to make to make the uv’s come out like this

Afterwards I worked on the belt and selected cylindrical mapping

I then placed the uv’s like this

After I selected the faces inside the belt and set the planar mapping on y

Here is what the uv’s look like so far

After I started work on the chest decorations

I did automatic mapping so the result was this

I selected the shoulder pad and did the same

Here was the result

I then selected the shoulder pad decorations

I selected spherical mapping to get the uv’s like this

After I started on the feathers

I selected automatic mapping to get this result

I then went onto the knee pads

I selected the spherical mapping option

After I selected the head

I started off with spherical mapping so I would be able to make adjustments

I then went over it

I then did another spherical mapping

After I selected the eyes

I then selected the other parts of the face

I selected automatic mapping

I then reposition the uv’s

At this point I stopped working on the piece (temporarily).
