started this guy to get a bit looser with zb3. still rough in alot of areas. need to get back to the thug, but comments/crits welcome as i will definitely be getting back to this guy soon.
I think bringing out the crotch area and fixing the back of the ankle to start would be nice...I get his feet are supposed to be like a goats but it seems like its flattened when it should have an ankle curve to it.
I'd add some bigger details up top. He doesn't seem very imposing up there when Im looking at him from the side. Massive shoulder plates, spikes, or something would help to give him a more menacing look. Usually when you see creatures with these inverse joints, they're more top heavy.
I'd also broaden his shoulders as well for the same reasons. He doesn't come off looking powerful.
alright so started going in a different direction w/ this guy. still hacking out the rough design. hands will be very much de-humanized. horns/tentacles will be better integrated next time around. still need to sculpt out the hooves.
Hey Demoncage, I really like this new direction, very cool and alien. Not sure on the tail as it kinda distracts from his form even though he has demon aspects to him. Maybe change his feet from the hoof to a a toed foot? To see how that might work, and it looks like the hands are seperate objects so either make it look like they are stitched together or have something to cover the break.
thanks for the crits Spark. yeah, hands. will either do something explicitly joint like to integrate them or find a way to unify the mesh. i tried to do insert mesh but the hand didn't show up for some reason. any info on that?
I like this new one a lot. Also looks much more balanced with the bent spine and long arms, which was my chief concern with the first. The only thing I'd say is the horns look a bit floppy considering how thin they are. Unless thats intentional, kinda makes em look floppy when the rest of the model is about bulk. Just a thought.
thanks Cryocat. yeah, had the same feeling about the horns, especially the middle ones. think i just need to thicken them at the base and transition into the tips. hope to update this guy soon.
MUCH better direction on the second pass. I really like the weight you have now on the character. The back and shoulder sculpting is sweet. However, I'm not so sure about the hooves with this new look.
Very cool so far!

Yeah this is starting to look pretty nice man. I like the design overall. I love the arm length, reminds me of how jordu schell always manages to find something interesting proportionally to exaggerate. I find the lowest joint on the back legs a little awkward to be honest. Not sure what it is, maybe the indent in between the two bone ends? Makes the joint look like the two bone ends are disconnected If Im making any sense? http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/1547/11700296.JPG

here's a side view of the model.

Love the detailing on the chest area though
