"Zglorbnok"? Does it speak well enough to speak its own name?

Let me first say; I think he is really cool.

Then a few crits; some places have a nice bumpy texture, but on his flayed back, things look a little too smoothed out. Maybe there should be a ridge where the skin ends. I don't know what sort of polygon count you are going for though, or if his back will be seen up close either. Likewise, some maps seem more stretched than others.

I also hear you can get seamless cylindrical maps if you have issues lining those 'flayer tusk' stripes up? I don't know if that yellow texture is quite "messy" enough to match the rest. Another small thing you could do was add an opacity map at the edge of the jeans, so they could be made more torn. Because your original drawing has a different, more rugged look.

thank you so much for your critique... i love it..=)

it's actually my first time mapping a whole character with pelt.... so some weird shit happpens...=0="... expecially when the part that i seriously don't know where should i draw my pelt sceams (like the hand) and when i map it it becomes really messed up so i had to move my actual uvw file after..= ="

"Zglorbnok"... wooo... seems like a nice name.. donno what it means... i am gonna look it up on dictionary dot com.. lol..@@"... but it sounds quite like a nice name...

Zglorbnok the Cruel :P

UVW unwrapping is hard (even when Max doesn't explode on it). It would appear people just choose to have pelt seams in visible places anyway, if this makes any sense: http://209.132.69.82/uploaded_from_zbc/200307/user_image-1059628527jpb.jpg

zbrush mapping is the shit dude! use zbrush to paint yuour textures right to 3d and then export it as psd. Ill show u next time i see u in school

i like the monster, i wanna see him with hair now :)
and also try to play with blood a little, it seems too colorful right now.. make him a little more scary by creating less of saturation and luminosity
