Kentor

Hi everyone!
Here is my most recent work that luckily won the first place at CGCoach’s “Creatures and Critters” sculpting contest. It’s called “Kentor”.
A Kentor is a species of centaur living in temperate grasslands and woods. This is a very peaceful herbivorous critter that usually lives in small herds of half a dozen to a dozen. This one is an alpha male. His staff is never used as a weapon, but rather helps him to reach fruits in the trees, or water when he attached his drinking horn at the tip of it.
I used ZBrush, Max and Photoshop.
Final render:
Construction/Concept:

Moddler will make a 12” 3D Print of this guy, so I will update with pictures as soon as I have some! I can’t wait to see their print with this gorgeous SSS effect!!!
Thanks for watching!

however, for such a friendly happy go lucky plant eating dude with a sharp stick, he sure has an angry face
That is unless the plants on his world are giant, evil flesh eating fruit demons that require him to fight back in order to get his food
Ahaha Moose, you are right. The backstory was made at the same time than the concept, and if you look at the dude, he looked way more peace & love at that time.
The skull is his son's who died in a tragic accident. When he found him laying on the ground, with vultures all around, he freaked out and kill one of the birds. This was the first and only time I killed a living creature. He now keeps those two skulls not as a trophee, but rather as a honorific remembrance of those two lives that would not have been taken.
This terrible event is probably why he has such severe face. I hope it makes sense!
He is very goat-like, which makes me wonder if he'd have any sculpted fur on him. It looks like maybe you are going with a horse-hide look though. Either way, it would look great.
good job!
Would make an awesome 3d model for your desk
any chance of a larger version?
I like the swoop of the branch into his arm in the first shot, it adds to his mystique, makes him part of the environment, adds to the swirl of branch forms that led so many tribal people to adopt the motif into their art styles.
Cool stuff
