front and back looks good though.
think more gorilla anatomy and less human.
Few things I notice is the Ram's skull should have more volume, right now it looks kinda flat. If you could thicken it a little more it would add nicely to the silhouette.
It's kinda hard to critic anatomy of a fictional creature, but I think his knuckles should be wider than his finger width, as they are with Humans/Gorillas etc.
His Brachioradialis muscles get really small and thin towards the upper arm, I'd make it a little bigger where it meets the Brachialis.
You gotta think this is a huge Orc throwing an axe around all day, and they're the muscles he'd use to do it.
Looking great so far man, keep it up!
The muscles are circled here:
i can't wait!
WAAAGH!
orcs are much like ak47s, usually very cliche, but solid execution will make this one stand out from the crowd. you are doing really good work here. the muscle definition is very spot on. but I would have to agree with almighty_gir. the lats are very lacking in defenition compared to everything else. it almost looks like he has back boobs, which would work if he was obese all around, but he's ripped everywhere else. so I would just cover those with solid lat muscles like the ones that you see on body builders.
keep up the great work!
Also Added some defining lines to the face of your orc, like under the eyes. Can still make him look 'angrier' While keeping the evil look.
But yeah anyways great work man, looks rad! Also by the way just been on your site and I love the doom stuff, well done!!
Love what you got though! Keep it up sir : )
Heres an new update
If you have the inclination I would consider reducing the slope on his face a little, and making the cheekbones almost vertical to bring it more in line with the concept, but also cos the profile, cheekbones and ears all follow the same angle at the moment, breaking that angle up could be worthwhile.
@ almighty_gir I may change the cloak if I cant get the fur right so thanks for the idea man. But it seems like the Warhammer orcs normaly just use fur cloaks tho
@ seth. Thanks for the crit! I should have done it but I changed the face combining pics from other Warhammer orcs and the concept so its not a complete identical face from the concept maybe that was a bit stupid of me
Heres an really quick update. Only done some work on the diffuse and yeah the skin and bone need more color
fuck me i'm a nerd.
Small update here.. I started a littel on the armor this is only diffuse and Toolbag default spec on
Edit: And I need to fix more on the skin it looks way to much like wax and I think more yellow and some brow and a little dirt and stuff will do him good
There are a couple of things with the anatomy that are bothering me tho.
-The rib cage area, I guess thats what its suppose to be (area above the abs in a half circle)... That just looks strange and off to me. I would smooth that out and give him a bit of a belly instead.
-The center of the chest is reading as bone more than muscle. Its those harsh cuts with the ao painted in. I would smooth that out and add some smaller muscle fiber details there to really sell it as muscle rather than hard bone or something.
-Perhaps the second ring of armor on the forarm (the metal ring there center of the forearm) doesn't really make sense. Since it is tapered in to match the arm exactly like that just doesn't seem natural if you think about how the armor would be made.
Anyway, small points there, overall its looking great dude!
You did a great job on him though and the armor/textures look sweet!
@ praetus Yeah when I think over it... it makes no sense how the skull is attached... lets say the orc had super glue :P
@ BradMyers82 I will get right on smoothing out the rib cage area
@ lotet Thanks for the crit there I have seen myself blind on the skin but I will get right on setting the AO down at once
@ Torch Yeah I wanted him top heavy as you said so I like the legs the way it is.. if I was going more realistic way I would have made the legs longer and bigger hehe and No I did not use any matcaps baking or magic just normal painting in PS
@ Alphavader Heres an little cut out of the armor textures. My workflow is just have some base stuff from CG textures really low in Opacity then I paint over with some blue. yellow, brown, and a bit of red then scratches ofc the the colors is at a low Opacity in the diffuse but u can add more and crack it up in the spec. Theres nothing else I have done with the textures yet and its still a BIG wip on everything xD I will show more when there is more to show :P I hope this helps a bit at least

Base is looking sexy!
small crit would be the fur, its looking kinda obvious that its just planes, and it dosnt really look attached to the armor/cloak either, that might be the angle of the render though.
overall its still super awesome, but the fur cape is definitely the weakest link atm.
