I think if the specularity was tuned down a little bit it would make more sense...as of now its a little shiny.

rooster

the head design is a little confusing, since his eyes are pretty small its possible to read his 2nd set of nostrils as eyes instead (looks quite cool if you look at it that way mind )

indian_boy

tru.. he's WAY too shiny

The wet lizard shines just fine.
Fabulous corset by the way.

dejawolf

yeah lizard scales are usually pretty flat, which makes them reflect more light.

snake skiiiiiiinnnnn...

soulstice

personally i think the specs are awesome, makes it look really reptile like. great job!

katana

Awesome Lizard man...

bugo

heh, thanks for the feedback ppl. Well, i´m sure that maybe the specular could be a little high not because of the map but because of the lights on the scene, there´s 4 point lights into the Maya scene and also the spec power could be high too. But like a reptile, i´m sure that is not a real big problem, isnt it? Lemme know and I will adjust.

bugo

btw, i tried that mesh into unrealed and i got a low specular, i had to increase the specular there, maybe its a Maya problem.

conte

is that corset on him? or just part of his body? does looking very strange. and yes, head is a bit confusing. Oh, and a LOT of wasted polys, man.
but that's good job, and a nice portfolio piece.

bugo

Yeah, corset is with him, i did it together into high mesh, all was done in zbrush in 1 mesh. I was thinking about the polycount too, even if its 5k i dont want to waste too much, im trying to cover that topic too, i wasted too much on the legs and arms, you know, i didnt want to lose too much time with something that doesnt grant me too much. Maybe the head is a bit confusing thinking on a lizard, i have put this name on him after thinking on a lizard, i dont know if wanted to do as a lizard, but its kinda. Anyway, thx for the feedback Conte, i will try to figure something out better next time

conte

bugo, i meant you could take up some polys from legs and arms and give them to the finger and toes.
that's very nice job, man, really.

bugo

ow, ok, haha, gotcha, but its better welding some vertices then creating others since the normal map is generated

I would put some work into that spec map to make it look more like scales. You need some darker spots in the spec to break up the shine a bit. Some heavy contrast tweaking should do the trick. Other than that it looks pretty good.

looks alright. but the head is messed up. I agree with rooster. The second set of nostrils is where the eyes would look better at.

Just thought the neck area needs more blubber and structure.
