Lookin 'good there. My only crit would be to define the forms in the torso area a little more like you have going in the legs.. subtle shadows and highlights just to make the area appear less flat. Look to your concepts, they seem pretty evident there.

Excellent work though, the level of detail is great.

THanks J. yes i need to add something in there thats for sure. ill have to do it up after i am finished with this little walk animation.

i lov' it !

I think the first version of the texture was working more successfully. Now that you took out the stronger details, it looks homogenous, i cant really tell whats going on.

There are just some great things going on with this model, it looks extremely nice, and I love your color choice.

I wish I could see a cleaner wireframe view, (cleaner as in, all in quads, and with backface culling turned on.) but it looks like it might be too poly dense in the legs. One way i check for the density, is to assign the model an all black shader, and then rotate it around. If the polys are dense in a particular area, i check to see if that area is doing alot to define the profile. if not, i tone it down. Looking good man!

okydoke..

i touched up the skin a bit and did some posing. I also did a small walk animation whcih you can see below the picture in either quicktime or avi format.

hey man.. you can check some of my stuff out at www.innersaga.com/foliotemp/ i am currently workin on a website design.. so hopefully sometime soon ill have it back online

[mephisto]

nice. I like your use of color. Some of it reminds me of the colors in the new finalfantasy concept art.

Nice work.=) The textures are nice and the model seems nice
aswell, however I think you should work some more on the
animation, add some more weight to it or something.
Im a really crappy animatior so maybe I shold just keep my
mouth shut.=D

Plz post the textures, and a wireframe.

great textures and good skeleton placement, but the animation seems too "1,2,1,2" if you can see what i mean... all well and good if this creature is fairly light (he's running kinda like a poodle) but w/ creatures who have to support more weight usually have 3 legs on the ground at all times.
