I’ve posted this model in several different forums, and for some reason, no one wants to critique it…
Anyways, I would like some constructive critism on how i can inprove this model. I would say this took roughly 10-14 hours to complete the model, and it’s only my 2nd venture with zbrush.
Any helpful critiques are welcome!!

You have some detail that is starteing to look ok.
My problem is that you need to spend more time with the
model before detailing. You need to pay more attention
to the muscle and bone structure under the surface.
Maybe even build that structure in another app before detailing
just so you have a solid understanding. Tight now it kinda
feels like the head is built over a cone of some sort.
Also the design could be a bit more emotional in any particular
direction of you choice. Its just very “safe” now.
very cool
the design looks like Feng Zhu stuff, but thats not the point
cant wait to seethe rest
Is it supposed to be any particular dinosaur? I think it looks good, but I think it’s hard to critique with the lighting you have. There’s no contrast. It’s hard to see all the hard work you’ve put into it.
Maybe do a new, better lit rnder, first.
ashiad, it looks like something Feng would do because i modelled it off of one of his drawings.
Bobzilla:
as far as i know, it’s not any particular dinosaur. When I get a chance, i will post a better render for you to take a look at.

I like the cleaness so far with the model. I would have displayed it for C and C with a different material…that way we could have maybe seen more of it’s character. At this point itis lacking amotional or character to the face…I reliaze it’s a dino but it’s very static at this stage. You said you based it off a drawing from someone so the best critique for yourself is to maybe put the drawing as a background behind your model and compare the two together. I dont know the other artist, but like Skycastle said …I would think about doing more modeling at lower res to get a more realistic animal before going into the details of the skin etc maybe…color and texture will definitely add to the image as with eyes and teeth…The one other thing that I immediately noticed was the throat…I am no dino expert but this came off more with the style of a dragon rather than what I think of as a regular ole dino from the text books…with all that said I stil think this work can and will make a nice head with a bit more tweaking of the modeling…I look forward to more updates and I hope this 121 helps some.
kind regards,
Ron
unfortunately, i’m not very good (read suck/horrible) at texturing 
so it might take me some time to get a textured image on here, but as soon as I do, i’ll post it
