Mewtwo WIP critique requested

VanLogan

Hello everyone! I'm new to polycount so I'd like to make my first post and ask for some feedback.

I'm a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design and am currently taking a zbrush class. I am sculpting a realitic mewtwo based off of RJ Palmers concept http://arvalis.deviantart.com/art/Mewtwo-333735717 and would love to get critiqued.

Looking pretty solid so far.

I think the main thing you need to concentrate on at this point before you get too far into detailing his icky wrinkly skin is better defining the shape of the eye sockets, cheekbones and nose bridge. Your design has a vaguely human appearance to the eyes while the concept is more animalistic, a bit like a lion.

Thanks for your feedback. After comparing my model to the concept and looking at other reference suggested by the concept artist I made some changes. Here is a gif to show the difference. Thank you again for your feedback.

Here are some updates for the mewtwo Model

Also some gesture studies to decide on a pose.

Pretty cool real life interpretation. The only thing I personally would criticize is the head and face. It looks too much like a cat. Must be tough to decide what sort of animal mewtwo would be though. Cool design though, did you concept it yourself?

His neck looks really weird... like that shelf tree fungus stuff, although honestly the whole thing is kind of disgusting... I guess thats the intent. I like the detail you put into it, I'm nowhere near as good at sculpting as you are.

HomeGrownHeroz, Thank you. The concept is by RJ palmer.http://arvalis.deviantart.com/art/Mewtwo-333735717
The concept artist was basing the face off of a cats and a barn owl. although I changed mine a bit because people were saying it looked to cute and clean. If you have an idea on how to push it in a better direction please let me know.

whiketan the neck and shoulders are based off of an Indian Rhino like this. It has been a though thing to get right. I am completely open to feedback on how to improve it.

Luka

Here's another update. Almost there, just a few more things and then I'll begin final renders. Original concept for Mewtwo by RJ Palmer
Luka I did start doing a Mew for this. Hopefully I'll get some photos of that in soon.

I've been working with RJ to pose this so we can get it 3D printed.
Here's what we got so far. Let me know what you think.

Cleaning up the 3d print. I also cast the head in wax to refine the detail.
