Okay...


So, on this one, I REALLY don't want to vuck up the volumes. Like really. So I'm wondering where to go from here. (Except for the legs)

this is looking good! i like your pallete. seams bold. lets see what you make of it!

[Opacus]

Thank you Kazuya

Okay then.
I'm still continuing the Tripod. I have made some more changes but they're not yet show worthy.

Here however, is something I do think so far show worthy:


It's a Behemoth from Final Fantasy series. Reference page is here: http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/espmon/behemoth.shtml
I haven't lost my initial enthousiasm about this yet as I did with the Tripod. Critique?

with your darker values on the first piece, don't darken to black it muddy's it
darken to a warm hue

Not sure if your back leg is more human (ffX) or like a lion (ffX11). Anyways animals have the same skeleton as humans (kinda). What they have different is how long each bone is. For lion, the back leg: the animal stands on palm of foot, the foot bone is really long, then you have the rest similar to humans.

So if u want it to be more lion like, make the foot bone bigger.

The leg muscles you have drawn look like arm muscles, you should try to get an appropriate ref.

Thanks for the crit Sharp one.


Perhaps something like that is more fitting?
The front legs however, are arms. (You can see on the reference page that he has human arms in the front, and I think a bit of a crossover of human/animal legs in the back)

I think the tail on the behemoth is all funky-like.  It's either too short, or it's bending in strange places, or both--either way, it's bothersome.  Also, I want to point out the rear, right leg....it's also all funky-like--might want to check that out.

Overall though, it has that behemoth feel, so I say good job!


Good luck!

[Opacus]

Thank you Rydin. Here's a little update which hopefully adresses all mentioned crtitique so far:


Not entirely sure about that ribcage though.

[Opacus]

Sorry for the double post, but don't want this to go unnoticed


Any final crits before submission?

[Incendax]

try having the lines for the ribcage curved more towards the front legs instead of away.  ribs typically curve up to meet with the sternum at the center of the chest.
