I dig the head design so far besides the horns. They look really frail and weak, which isn't very demon-like. I'd beef them up a bit and make them more realistically shaped like a Jacob's Sheep:

yes, listen to him. I agree.

also, a general rule of thumb is that you don't render on pure black or white.

yea i was debatin the horns as well i have gotten mixed reviews from peopel i asked about weather i should beef em up or not

I think the base of the horns is good, they just need to keep the bulk further along.

the horns remind me of tape worm

As a general rule of character design I would say if you want a character to look sentinent (a deamon usually is) use eyes that point forward like human eyes do.

If you don't, your character will look very animal like and yours does look more like a deamon-horse right now.

But maybe that is what you are aiming for

JK: Actually eyes pointing forward indicate a predator, an animal that is usually the prey will have the eyes on the side of its head to have a wider FOV. Demons are supposedly goat-like and goats are prey.

vahl

but demons are predators...(meant to at least...else, why fighting them in doom3 if they are not ???)

It's darwinism at work, those demons that lack a 360° FOV usually die from a rocket in the back.

While the muscle look in the right places and everything you have way too hard of edges going on here, the whole thing needs to be smoothed out and i would remove some edges where you have a bunch tight up next to each other it dosent look good. Need to work on making the stuff look more subtle and less obvious and then it will start to work well for you. Good example of this here: http://www.kolbyjukes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=319&sid=9dc356578167892cf5ebf24cc754ad82
