Skeleton Thing

on: August 07, 2006, 01:07:52 am
No reference pics for this so I'm sure the skeleton is pretty out of whack. but thats ok, it ain't a human skeleton anyway ;).



I think it looks good but i have an sinking feeling iv committed some kind of pixel atrocity.

7 colours

and heres a quicky that i liked enough to put up



5 colours

I like the skeleton, but get the feeling that it should have some kind of small tail...?
I know you said it'st not human, but if you want structural crits, the forearm should be two bones. Just to check my terminology, I think they're called the radii? and humerus.
Q: is he holding that pole or is it like a streetlamp that he's leaning on?

I like that green one as well. very. . . eeeeriee. >_>

your forearm is composed of the Ulna and Radius, the Ulna being the "bottom" bone when your arm is in a "handshake" position.  The humerus is the upper arm bone :P

I like hte rib cage a lot, his joints look a little arthritic and swollen though.  subtlety goes a long way there!  his skull does not read particularly well, and his pose is awkward i think.  The spear thing is kind of unclear - its too thick for a spear but a little bit thin for some random post capable of supporting a skeleton monster?  I really like your palette on this one though.

For future reference, saying thumb side [radius] and pinky side [ulna] is usually clearer than "bottom" and "top".

The femurs look rather short. Especially the one at a side view. This is said as I expect you're following the human skeletal system in the legs.
