Just to add to the thread here, Unreal Engine 4 has an asset store called Marketplace. It's not yet open to content creators' submissions, but being open to content creators is high among their priorities.
They create concept art and concept design for character usually. Sometimes prop designs are involved. They’re (sometimes) skilled in the following: figure drawing anatomy creature design zoology costume design sewing fashion design still life drawing and panting
Maybe you could give the creature wiry, skinnier, with a slender waist like a sighthound, maybe give it a more grim and surreal appearance. I think you also should keep the bony beak you made on your first sketch.
There are many great sculptors (just go on ArtStation and you can find a lot of people) but Dominic Qwek is really great in making creatures and he even have Gumroad. You can learn a lot from him. https://gumroad.com/dominicqwek
Thanks for the replies everyone. I should have mentioned AM and 11SecondClub. Good stuff, most definitely, but they always revolve around very cartoony characters, not so much creatures. I had not seen animationbuffet before, veerrryy cool, kudos! :)
I was really stoked by the first 20 seconds of the trailer, hoping for something more horror oriented, but robot fighting is fine too. I see a lot of Evangelion inspiration in there, maybe it's just me. I'd like to get a better look at the creatures!
That's how I got my current title :D I've purposely been doing random shit, clicking on random NPCs, exploring every inch of the world, attacking new creatures, just to see what title/achievement it unlocks. -caseyjones
Liked him better before when he was cute. It would have been more original with a fat cute thing in a armor then the creature you are going for now. Disgusting thing in armor done before, cute thing in aromor, not done as often
Oh wow , contest just got real ! Can`t wait to see the evolution of this creature ! I`m really digging the Carlos Huante frog man with the extra finger on the forearm , might be cool to implement . Looking good so far !
spent some time playing with 3D coat alpha 3 today. It doesnt work as well on my home pc but it was still workable. Made some kind of wierd creature with a hollowish chest. volumetric sculpt from just one sphere
