nice render!
TY very much! 
I was having so much fun with the render that I did, that I decided to turn it into an illustration. Now to actually finish the damn model 
Should be a while before I post any updates.
Beautiful!
Looking better and better everytime I see it! Keep going, your doing great!!
Thanks guys!
Here’s an update on the model itself:
Hey guys!
Here’s another update!
Messed with his proportions quite a bit. He’s now quite a bit taller and lankier 
Also, the dreds are now more sparce and fall a little more naturally.
Let me know what you think!
Looking really good man ! Great to see the progress !
Thank you so much!
This keeps getting better and better. The classic predator design has always been my favorite. Many subsequent designs tended to loose that fleshy organic feel in favor of a more spiny style.
The bicep and brachialis area looks off too me. Like it just needs more attention. Other than that, I like this a lot. Reminds me so much of when I first saw the movie. When I saw him ripped that dude’s spine, I basically lost it haha.
Thanks guys!
@ Sankar: I agree I actually think his upper arms are a little too thin as well. Am going to give that are another look-over! Thanks for pointing that out!
Here’s another update!
It’s alive!
It’s still a very early stage of the process, but I wanted to share it with you anyways. Animation and render is rough! So please keep that in mind
Ignore his untextured/missing armor, plama cutter, bio helmet and missing trophies, I’m still texturing them in Zbrush!
Great Predator mate , really nice job doing him.
small_orange_diamond:)
The animation on youtube ist great aswell, where did you do the animation?
Straight in zbrush? Or in maya, max or so? The rig aswell, so you have a lowpoly version of it.
Would be great to see the whole progress when the character is finished.
Looking forward to it,
Keep it up!
Cheers,
Kenny
Hey Kenny!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
All of the rigging, animation and rendering was done in 3ds MAX (with ofcourse quite a bit of post in After Effects). I do have a low(er) poly version of him that I am using for the animation, but seeing as I’m tempted to make him as cool/realistic looking as possible once I get into to the finer things of the model, I think I might use a higher poly version for the final render (using the low-poly as a proxy-rig/skin).
I am having so much fun working on this guy!
Absolutely love it already!!
The whole process has undergone a lot of care & attention, it’s totally obvious.
Much prefer the early version of predator(as you have done), it has a more organic & therefore realistic appearance.
Can’t wait to see what else you do in this project.
@ GothicGrin: Thank you so much! I am really having a lot of working on him. The Classic Predator is definitely my most favorite creature ever designed (and arguably one of Stan Winston’s best). I totally agree that newer renditions fail in comparison.
I am glad you’re liking him so far! He’s got quite a ways to go, but I intend on making him as good as possibly can! Thanks again for your awesome words of support!
