Machimera - original fantasy creature
Hi guys! Here's my newest offering for community viewing. It's a chimera creature of unicorn-like grace. This time I setup in Unreal3 for the first time on personal work. Also it really comes to life in a scrub/turnaround video, but having a hell of a hard time capturing + cropping + compressing without issue somewhere… -

I really like the way the background works with the creature. The trees are clearly 3D, but have a strong 2D effect that puts all the emphasis on the creature. They seem to go a bit too dark though; it might work better if the darkest darks of the background were more around 20-30% instead of pure black. -

I think the fog gives the trees too much depth... if the depth was created by just changing the solid color of the trees ass they fell back, i would agree with the "...The trees are clearly 3D, but have a strong 2D effect that puts all the emphasis on the creature. " As it is, the trees actually distract me a bit... But… -
Re: Machimera - original fantasy creature
I rarely post but I really enjoy your model, it's very whimsical. I disagree about the chest looking too pointy, it reminds me of the way a bird or reptile sternum juts out, which (to my eye), looks natural for the type of creature you are portraying. The only thing that really bothers me is the front paw/hoove on the… -
Re: Machimera - original fantasy creature
I made the trees black and a heavy fog to not distract from the creature. It's more of an impression of the environment just to give you the idea and a feeling around this creature more than a flat colour would. Think of it as a 'shadow-environment' or something. I'm actually thinking of presenting all my future characters… -
Re: Machimera - original fantasy creature
Thanks for taking the time to make overpaints. Somehow i feel these changes are too radical since this is supposed to be a brown furred creature. For example look at a brown horse http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1147/994464666_4472bf75da.jpg It has almost no variation going on by comparisson. I'm feeling it did need an… -
Re: Machimera - original fantasy creature

Re: Machimera - original fantasy creature
Amazing stuff. I dig the creature design and color scheme. -
Re: Machimera - original fantasy creature
Agreed on the hues. I also don't quite understand the hoofs. They look quite fragile. Otherwise it's great work. Really got the feel of a good fantasy creature. -
Re: Machimera - original fantasy creature
Art-Machine Yeah i like your paint over the most very striking design indeed! I may personally not be a fan of the feet, but i can't deny that they do a great job in helping differentiate this from other creatures and make it its own.
