They are looking great !
only the legs seems to be placed too far at the end of the body.

Thanks, Lucky and Marc!

Here's the latest on the cardinals. I like the pose better in the first image I posted with both cardinals, but I don't have the time to fix it as this needs to be finished today. I cut another corner by modeling a redbud tree instead of full blown flowers like a dogwood or whatever because the redbuds were quicker to do. But I think it came together OK overall. If it makes it into my client's line, I'll have time to fix the feet and work a bit more on the lighting....

Rendered in ZBrush 3. Postwork in Photoshop.

This is a very nice piece of work you have rendered.
I am delighted seeing the details throughout your image.

I want to rate the render at least a A+

Will you be posting a work flow tutorial on your basic technique?

[cynwulf]

very inspiring, not just a gerat piece of work, but also great to have a less 'omg a scary monster' topic - well done.

Thanks everyone! I should at least show the final Cardinals image here as well...

cynwulf,
One of these days, though, I'll get around to creating some type of scary creature. I love that stuff too!


CARDINAL FINAL IMAGE

great man ! nice colors...

[cynwulf]

hmm, on second thought, a closer inspection reveals more menacing intent in those beady little cardinal eyes, almost.. almost like they are watching you.. waiting.. pulling you in..

I love the scarecrow too btw, I found it very inspiring!

Great Job I look forward to seeing your next piece ;-)

Here's a new illustration I made. The company that will use it requested a bunny in a flower pot image, so prepare your barf bags.

This was created the same way as the Cardinals image with multiple ZBrush rendering passes layered together in Photoshop with some post work for the fur and coloring.
