Nice work, but needs more details on the skin. it looks like he has no ass or spine. Think body builder but with rhino skin for the rest of the details.
oh and play with your spec map cloth isn't shinny. and rhinos cover them selves on mud so add some dry mud in and make it not shinny.
Unfortunetly both my ideas have been recreated by others for this comp. But im sticking with my original idea now.
Drop some armor on that beast and hes gonna be rocking.
also, i wasnt really feeling the guantlets you had on him on your concept sketches, if you were still going to use them that is.

making plates like that all over the body would be cool and fill up lots of blank space..
Your treatment of the leather straps is a bit too lumpy. The highlight having such a gradient through the middle makes it look like its stuffed or something to that effect. Try tightening up where you are placing the highlights? Make them a bit more suddle.
How about some more wrinkles? There's a marvelous amount of detail in rhino skin--lots of fun can be had with it! 1 px brush gogogogogo!
My crit would be to accentuate some more muscles in the back and the butt. He just seems a little too rubbery back there. Seems you've emphasized a lot of muscle in the chest on not so much on the back. Perhaps there's a little too much brown colour in general. It'd be nice to see some contrasting colours somewhere on the model on the feathers perhaps? Also a weapon of some sort like a mauling hammer wouldn't hurt either.
I really dig the boots and the hair in the back of the head.
Great work!
Looks really good. Did you or someone else do something like this before? It looks very familiar, and I think I saw it on some old cgchat comp, or at least something similar.

Could it be my Cave Grunt? you're thinking about?
The rhino is really kicking my grunt's ass though, keep up the good work.
Looking good so far! I love the expression.
Might be a little soft definition wise, but nothing a little more contrast can't fix.
Oh yeah and good job on the straps on the backpack, I like the button snaps on the back.
Perhaps he needs a bit of dirt and dust from his hunting ground on his legs and leggings.
nice work
