    Your straps are inverted but other than that it looks sweet.
  • EarthQuake
    Yeah looks like the whole lower part there could be inverted, or just try flipping the green channel cause it looks liek that stuff is painted detail, i usually need to flip the green channel for my stuff i paint like that.

    yeah, I used to post on cgchat all the time, but it seems that all my friends post here, so I figured it was a good change
  • EarthQuake
    Normals look inverted on shoudler pads too btw, anywhere you used that filter they are going to be. Just incase you didnt notice =D

    The horse-half [deer?] looks too long in comparison to the legs, and the whole thing looks a little small compared to the human torso.

    I think the armor could use some additions to really make it look like it was made for a centaur, instead of just a human torso plopped on an ungulate with straps.

    So to sum up; awesome work, but push it farther.

    this is looking nice but I see a few things I think you could improve.

    - In general the anatomy of the horse part of the character seems guessed-at. For all I know you lined this up on an isometric horse diagram, but the anatomy just isnt' clicking visually. I think the curves and bone structure of the legs, particularly the rear legs, need to be a lot more exaggerated.
    - The costumery on the human part is pretty super, but what's with the Punisher skull on the abdomen? that seems hokey and out of character.
    - lastly, the upper arms are impossibly thin. They're like little pork tenderloins.

    Overall, good stuff. I hope you have plans to texture this!

    The horse body could use some more muscle definition. Looks too flat right now, and what is the stuff sticking out the back? The human part and the overall concept kicks ass. Great Job! I hope the textures turn out as good as the model.

    Sectaurs:
    - I have some polys to throw around and will be adding some "gear" to the Horse section. As for the scale.. ill play around with it a bit and try and work out a better balance. thanks for the crits man, the more the marrier!

    Noritsune:
    -Thanks for the comments man, I will play around with the horse section a bit more, I guess im just missing something from my ref
    - The punisher skull is part of a clothing design I pulled from the wow viewer, ill post it up when I get home from work today, and ill pump up the arms a bit. Thanks again

    Struve:
    - Im kinda worried about really pulling out the muscle definition cause some of it will get lost in the hair texture, but ill give it a shot. Thanks for the crit, and yes I will be texturing this one
