Incubus WIP - Critiques Requested!
polycounter lvl 17
Hey everyone, it's been a while (like a year..) since I've done any character modeling. I work as an architectural 3d modeler but it's SO BORING. So here's this incubus I've been working on. I'd REALLY like some critiques on it. Thanks very much!

I actually feel like his torso is too long and thin.. anyone have any ideas?

Spines looking a little gooey, but I think I'll fix that when I go back and add more muscles to the whole thing. Here's his front, looking not so anorexic anymore.
More stuff.. back muscles, tail lowered, thinking of working on the stomach but don't know if I should do the legs first.. blah.
The black is where you have it:
The tail should not come out of the small of the back.
Again, any help would be appreciated. I'm sure you guys will spot stuff I can't see. Like the chest. Somethings up but I can't find it.
Quick update, got his arms in thar..
He's turning out a lot more muscly than I expected.. XD
Also, the tail is most definitely in the wrong spot. Tails typically come directly off the butt (IE vertically) and then curve out since they're an extension of the spinal cord. This image is a little too big, but its good reference for showing how the tail follows the curve of the spine.

Keep up the good work, can't wait to see how it looks when its finished.
Thank you for the tail reference, I'll be working on that next!
This would be best (grey is where you had the tail)
Basically a tail would come out right at the top of the crack of your butt.
So I'm thinking of doing hair next, but the Max hair modifier is like.. insanely laggy. What would you guys suggest? Or should I texture him first? Or should I clothe him?
And you're gonna hate me, but from that back shot, his tail still looks too high though I can't tell for sure. Crack of the ass :P
Good work otherwise.
Did a quick paint over:
His torso was missing a lot of the normal s-curve that follows up the spine. This backiotomy should give him a more pleasing appearance from where his tail meets the caboose. Also tilted his ribcage which also gives his pecs a more normal appearance, as well (unless he's the kind of demon who got breast enlargements down in South Beach). I kept the profile fairly slender, but you can beef him up as you see fit.
The only other thing that stuck out at me was the massiveness in his thighs. It's possibly just the result of adjusting the rest of his torso, but maybe see about at least smoothing out the plane coming from the top of the leg down to the knee. Then again, you could always fudge this in favor of having to support him differently, because of the equine legs.
