Space Cow Bust

samnwck

So here is a project I'm working on. Hoping to be my first fully textured asset. right now it is just a bust but it may turn into more than that.

As it stands it is 7.5k for the low poly(Though the one render has a single subdivision)

UV Map (The big blank space is reserved for the eye. Teeth will also be added to the map.


So I'm looking for C&C on anything you can see, even though there isn't much there yet.

Thanks for the crit. On that it is too lumpy, I'm hoping that is mostly because the render I did was too bright to figure out the general shapes. So here are some max screengrabs to hopefully give a better idea of the Shapes of the head.



And one more angle

I thought the mandibles were arms for a good 5 minutes. It's a lot more understandable now that you've said it was a jaw-- but how does that jaw pivot, where are the bones, how does it eat space-grass. I'm having trouble understanding how that muscle does anything but restrict movement here.

The fore-mandible part feels a bit to rectangular from the side. But now that I know what's going on it makes a lot more sense, otherwise. what program did you do this in?

So as I had imagined it, the muscles highlighted in blue would pull the mandibles outward. The inner muscles would be responsible for the closing. Also space cow is more or less a working title, I just saw it sculpting and it look like some sort of grazer. Also, I've been thinking of adding a tongue of some kind that could keep food contained so the mouth could fully close.

You really might want to do a paintover of what you're seeing in your head so we know what your target is.

Finally got a bit of time to get back to this, just a small update. Still has much to be added, Tooth geometry, eye high poly to be completed soon(ish). So anyways here we are.
