Need Feedback on a Creature Zbrush model

Psychotic_Mike

Hi everyone, I just finished sculpting a creature in zbrush and I would like some feedback as to whether this is good enough to be a portfolio piece.



Thanks

Hey Man, I'm just going to throw a bunch of my thoughts at you. The mirrored 8 pack abs strikes me as odd. Clavicle jetting into the deltoid is also strange. Bicep insertion point should wedge between the flexor muscles and brachioradialis muscle, not cutting into the ridge. Also I would not have a black background, it's super hard to see the silhouette. Biggest thing is to get good reference! Cheers

I agree the anatomy needs work, closer attention to muscle structure, also I would re-visit the horns, overall shape of them is throwing me off. Maybe make them wider, or go with a rams horn look. something more fitting to the character. good luck

ohh yeah you're right! I totally failed to see what was going on there... Def need to study more anatomy. Forgot to mention this is my first character/creature model I've ever created so really appreciate your feedback!!!
Cheers guys

P.S.
8 pack abs (thought it wouldn't really matter as its a creature)

ok so I moved a couple of parts, smoothed some areas and even though its not perfect I can see some improvements on it already... here's a snapshot - only worked the left side
P.S.
I was tryin to pose the creature for fun thats why it looks so wrong...

I could write an essay about all the things in your model that needs correction but I'll sum it up with what I think is the most useful advice; Study real human anatomy.

Make a fit male body, no weirdness added, then get back to this one. Will be night and day. No need to put much focus on faces themselves but understanding the structure of the head is essential!

Yeah thats what I'm doing right now. Do you know of any good anatomy websites for reference?

This is the best site about anatomy for artists I've ever found.

ok so after a couple of days I think this piece is a huge improvement on the previous one. It took me some time but I need more practice!!!
