Primate Creature (WIP)

samsantala

So this creature has been designed for a university project, and it's my first real foray into Zbrush (before I've mostly just been using Maya/Mudbox)

Here's the turnaround, and here's some screenshots of the work so far.

I have a couple weeks to finish sculpting, texturing and rendering this. however I'm unsure about the fur, still need to decide if I'll be sculpting that in or playing with the hair controls for it.

How will this be animated? I am wondering about those useless looking legs.

The claw at the end of the tail might be backwards depending upon how it's used.

I wanted to base it's movement similar to a pendulum, so it would move through trees by throwing it's weight and gripping the branches using it's forearms/tail. (Which is also the tails purpose, a counter weight, hand and blunt force object). The hind legs are more for delicate tool handling than anything else.
