Hi, I did this sculpt of this creature following this tutorial.
I found it very nice and easy to follow along. Please critique and comment

After this I will retopo
The only thing that I don't know, is why it is showing those artifacts on the neck??

Greetings

I'd continue sculpting.  Right now, the medium forms of the sculpt are blobby.  There's few places where the sihlouette is different and sharp, as oppsoed to round and soft

VitalZero

How about this?

Brian "Panda" Choi

Not quite.  You're missing a lot of the harder edge "lines" of the sculpt he has.

Do you notice he posted Dropbox project files in the Youtube description?

Also, it will help if you posted more than one image, and specifically a turnaround, of your model so we can see everything else.  Something tells me you are proportionally off from the concept, but I may be wrong.

Yes, I downloaded them and review them. But as this is my first "full" sculpt, I'm still getting used to blender brushes and how to use them properly. I just saw some alpha textures to use and I'm thinking that will be helpful to get those sharp "spikes". Plus, My PC is struggling with that many polygons (i5 3.2 Ghz 8 RAM but no good video card).
Plus, is kind of difficult to do it with the mouse

Ahh, no strong hardware and tablet will do that yea.  Are Wacom Bamboo's outside of budget for the moment?

VitalZero

Probably not, but I want to see first, how far I can go with the mouse ;D

Brian "Panda" Choi

You're not going to get far, most likely.  I have yet to hear of an artist, with full faculty, get very far with a mouse with 3D Sculpting.

I hhighly recommend looking into getting a used Bamboo.

I been at it for 2-3 years I think. I always think I should get a cintiq, but they are quite expensive. I got a bamboo, but I never use it. The mouse has been good to me. But even I recommend you to get a wacom in the long run. I would not say it's such a rush yet, since you are mostly learning the software.
