Beast Anatomy Help

Squals

Hey guys,

I started this guy on lunch at work yesterday, and needed a few comments on certain things if anyone had some to share.

I'm currently working on the Arm and it's really bothering me but i'm not sure how to proceed with it, I'm going for a demon / insectoid character, alla darksiders / aliens / tyranids. But all those beasts have skinny arms, which I don't want. I'd want to stick to big, beefy arms. If anyone has comments, please help





thanks, Squals

Check out some of the ref he's using. http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?120065&p=962339&viewfull=1#post962339

You are on the right track, and if you use the link with the ref to go further with the muscles on the arm I think this will turn out pretty nice.

I will say, that jaw with teeth that large the lower jaw/neck muscles will need to be a lot thicker as well as connect to the neck. When you have a lower jaw that weighs a large amount you need the muscles to back that up.

It looks very powerful and fast at the moment, but the jaw would just be flapping about in the wind with how little muscle you have to hold it up.

Thanks a lot guys! I ended up checking out gorillas which resembled more the type of animal I was going for. I'll post updates as they come! Thanks again!

Was able to work on it a little today with the advice given. A few things I still want to modify next are the butt / chest and legs. I should stop going into details as i'll be retopo'ing it to make it a poseable mesh. Crits welcomed!
