This is a remake from Dungeons and Dragons Hell Hound. I did it thinking about something to be printed.

Great work man!
Love the idea of making a minutuar out of a Wildebeest, and your latest model looks sweet as well, though maybe you should lover its head a bit or something like it, the pose looks a bit stiff right now. But awesome work, keep them coming ;)

[brunosaber]

Hey STORM tnx for the tips they are very usefull.
Here are another views with no texture

Nice models:thumbsup: Maybe a roll of flesh to surround the horn connection to the cheek would have made things more natural in this area. This connection looks better in your last sreen shot though.
Cool stuff , thanks for sharing :sw:

ahaha awesome kids, I think you could add a bit of reflection onto the skin and lower the brightness of the iris, it kind of glows right now.
Nice work and funny clap

[brunosaber]

Tnx for the great help pascal, for sure ill add some reflextions and its gonna be much better. im having some problems with SSS on maxwell render...it takes too long for rendering...soon ill start trying some V-ray rendering to see how faster it goes. but first i have to leran a bit of max at least navigation hehe...tnx man !

[PascalR]

Nice one! Is he standing on stones or wood?

[brunosaber]

hi pascal =) its sotone, a litle bit more of spec maybe? tnx for the coment ^__-

[PascalR]

I would sharpen the bigger shapes, you get those soft root like shapes that don't feel like stone. Dragon looks cool though, the way the arm is bending seems a bit too sharp at the elbow/low biceps area
cool stuff!

[brunosaber]

Tnx for tips pascal ^__- another angles cheers!

The model looks really really good, and the design is top notch as well.
The only thing to crit really would be the final render, I think the material looks to translucent.

[brunosaber]

Hey storm tnx for your coment =) im working on some renders studies right now trying to learn it.

Here is a toon for fun and for kids. i tried to give a stopmotion look =)

Looks super tight man, great model and textures. If I may say so I think maybe the skinshader could use some more work though, looks a bit like plastic.

Storm - Tnx man, and tnx a lot for the tip. ill see what i can do next time cheers :) !

Hey Bruno, lovely new character, Love his mouth, and posture, but I think maybe his eyes could use some more work, I find it a bit hard to read how he is feeling.
But apart from that little thing, its a really cool character ;)

[brunosaber]

Hey storm whaz up? im really glad that u like it =D i tried to put some eyebrow as geometry but i dint like the result, ill try to do some fur studies and see how it will look. thank you for your coment and tip =)

The model and render really looking good Bruno. Chromatic aberration seems a little distracting but not a big deal.

Anything special I need to do when exporting hi-res models from Zbrush to Mudbox?

[brunosaber]

Aleph - Hey man tnx =) nothing in special just get all your layers on and the highest resolution activated...when u import it in mudbox choose rebuild subdv
