Below are just some preliminary sketches of my simpler adaptations of the real life canopic jars. I do these because it helps me to plan ahead what I'm going to create in 3DS max. Below that are the models without textures and the wireframe versions so you can get an idea as to how many faces are used. From left to right, the jars are based on an eagle, Anubis, a baboon and a human, again this wont be immediately evident from the models as they are fairly primitive, but they should, with a texture be more effective.
