2nd attempt at Z: Spinosaurus

[swampthing]

Well this is my 2nd zbrush attempt. Still a work in progress. Still roughing in some detail before I start doing the skin. Putting off the skin as long as possible as i'm really kinda stumped as to how to do it. Would like a rhino type skin on him but haven't been able to re-create it.

The initial low poly model was created in lightwave, I suck at zspheres, can't get them to do what i want.

Maybe a little trainig is necessary for control the Zspheres :)
In any case cool dino :)(sorry spino)

I think this is a nice job.
Id like to see some more surface detail.

There is a Gnomon DVD out there with some nice alphas that work great for surfacing creatures like this.
I have the DVD but don't remember the name.
I can find it if you like.

My favorite dinosaur -- looking forward to seeing more.

Well defined body, bit skinny in the belly region....and the neck needs more definition, think the difference between head/neck and neck/body could be better. Here's an example (spinosaurus which i made in the summer, not happy about it ..lacks detail but hopefully shows how i would do the neck area) :
