Thanks for rhe suggestions guys. This lizard people thing sounds ridiculous or awesome? @Torch I already mentioned the character art podcast. Definitely a good incite into behind the scenes.
Thanks for the advice! I've been downloading lots of musculature diagrams and pictures of lizards and stuff...part of this is that the character is based on a description in a book, so some of the weird appearance comes from there.
Another update. More refinement and adding back in the skittering critters. I decided to change the crabs to lizards because I think they prove a bit more fun and goofy.
Yeah! I like your style of working through a scene in situating it into a potential story. And thanks, I wouldn't want to come across as someone who is like 'this isn't right, or this is wrong' haha In a simple scene like this, I always think of the Yin + Yang symbol for some reason, how objects harmonize with eachother.…
Hello Polycounters ! I forgot to post the 3D version of my lizard. So, here it is ! You can check it in Marmoset Viewer on my artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/E3XD8
Still waiting on my buddy for the rig and skin... I posted up the current marmoset file on an artstation page if anyone is interested in seeing it... https://bradmyers82.artstation.com/pages/stylized-lizard-creature
Well... there's absolutely no anatomy in that. You went immediately from a geometrically crude model to slapping details on it and calling it done. You might want to look at big cat anatomy, lizards, etcetera etcetera.
To me seems like the eye is bulging out of the head a wee bit. Check out some lizard, or even other dragon's eye sockets maybe. Looking great so far though!
