CrocoChupacabra

Here is my Chupacabra composition. How does it look? Also what should I do with this shadow?

I'm a student so crits most welcome.

Really like it! Could we see some wires and stuff without the lighting effects?

Really cool model, reminds me a bit of the lizards from Spiderman 3, but more goreish, hehe

Hey guys thanks!
Sorry Darkleopard it was actually a Zbrush Dynamesh sculpt! I may retopo it but i'm not sure at this point. It was for a concept design class so it was more so just to get the idea out there without worrying about polys/limitations for now.

I updated this with a bit more contrast between the character and the background and made him clearer. Done with this now and ready to move onto new projects

Looking great!

As its a zbrush sculpt, i think if you went in and put in some forms for the biceps and worked on the claw/hand attachment area, itll add more to the awesomeness

the enhanced lighting was a good choice!

love everything about the model, except for the front claws. For me, the shadow(It should be angled based on the key light, not the fill. As well as fading it out as it distances itself from the character.) and front claws are the draw backs on the shot, as butt_sahib mentioned. Minor stuff really, considering how awesome I think this is btw :-)

I like the split lower jaw and the texture of the skin particularly on the torso. There's a lot of volume there, which is really nice with the advanced lighting.
I think the tail seems a little thin at its base, and I agree with butt_sahib that the hand area could use some more definition. The darkness of the overall composition is nice, but I feel like I want to see more of the actual sculpt, could you throw up a matcap on a standard background just for critique purposes?

Thanks heaps for the responses guys. I am away from my pc but when I get home I will throw some matcaps up to see the sculpt before photoshop. I wanted to have hands similar to a moles and always had a problem with them but kept forgetting to sculpt new ones during the class so just went with these ones. It bothers me they are just like a solid Palm with no separation before the claws.
