Hey Jonah,

Looking good. I think the horse is almost there. The ribcage and stomach needs some work, though.

In your model, the ribcage and stomach aren’t visible from the front take a look at this pic and you’ll see how the ribcage extends past the chest and shoulders.

The ripgut concepts are cool. My one crit there is that the tusks all seem to be protruding out the character’s cheeks. Can you shift the base of the tusks out to the side more? It would help to have them anchored to the bones in the skull.

Nice work.

-Jason

yay mr patnode! yes yes i see the horse, i would have never found this, that will be an easy fix and i will get it done tomorrow, i especially wanted a bulky savage horse. thank god it’s an easy fix. and yea ganons face, i didn’t think it through too much about ganon in the early stages, i am doing revisions of his tusk placement coming out of the side of his bottom jaw and version where they are part of his teeth. thanks again for the well needed crits! yay

Hey mrskullface! Great job so far, I will definately be keeping an eye out on this thread. Also I got to check out your deviantart page, very nice artwork up there!

Be aware that mares are fatter in the belly than stallions, and by breed, the proportions of a stallion can vary widely.

Friesians are freaking sweet, pretty narrow in the belly, and their manes are loosely curled. Great reference for fantasy horses.

I call them “Fabio Horses”.

Cooool I love that stuff!

[Blaine91555]

Great details

I hope this makes sense. The base of the tail should be straight above the front of the hind hoof if the horse is standing straight. This one is not posed quite right but you get the idea. Reference the Red Line.

You are doing wonderful work.

You have the front leg correct by the way, just the rear is a little off in Conformation.

[mrskullface]

Marsyas: thanks man!

troy1617: oh yea? nice man thanks, yea some people on tweak are awesome! but here too, and DA.

Jaidek: thanks alot! yea i should be updating the horse and ganon tommorrow for sure, i drew out all the armor and making the horse bigger in the tummy and the legs: ]

Crusoe the Painter: oh yay more ref. yea i love 3D i can change small things in a heart beat. lowest subd lvl ftw! doing this taught me alot about horse.

SolidSnakexxx: thanks! i wish, at least when this is done, the horse is just the base : ]

dlb: thanks!

zzagno: thanks it’s alot of work. 24 hours in a day is nothing, i would not mind having 51 hours in a day.

Mikeporetti: thanks :]

piz: thanks alot.

Blaine91555: thanks you for the crit, yes i see that now, more and more things in finding about anatomy, god is one nutty modeler! i will keep the tail in mind when i open the horse back up into maya.

bneall: thanks you, check back in on tommorrow, i have more work in 3d ive done if you want to see that. a pug, face and i think the aq mount from wow. haha yes i play wow, when i can.

nightwoodwolf: thanks man!

tommorrow i will have the start of ganon up! stay tuned for the next episode of -wasting time with jonah!-

[mrskullface]

so these are other models i have done, i plan on doing more to them, armoring them out as well. i have a funny thing i want to try and do with the pug and armoring it out like the horse and have ganon holding it. savge/cute look : ]

and the other is the AQ mount from WOW, not the starship troopers thing, that is a whole nother design believe it or not, but im sure vblizzard stole the design much like all their designs :]

ok so i’m still on this, with school and drawing going on I i had a small break of not working on this guy. so this is the update:

so my problems: is the armor too much? i’m going for the drawing i did. the anatomy is that too much. i want to go for devil man style anatomy. longer arms. hes not done at all though. please tell me what you think.

notes: the topo block is master modelers korbin as well as the teaching of how to go about doing this. mark, i love you.

the horse is done as of now, i will finish it off 100& when i pose him, like veins and what not. but i feel i should smooth his more? is he too lumpy?

and ganon now. his face and horse are going to be redone, i don’t like it and i want the fat head eye style. and the horns are going to be redone to come out of his bottom jaw and not his cheeks haha. stupid mistake my me rushing designs.

Oof… I love your drawings. Knowing that you will fully execute that elaborate armor makes it even more exciting. On the edge of my chair here!
