there is also some kind of problem with a seam/texture/polygon below his neck, by his collarbone.
not sure if you know about this ?
wow, thanks for all crits, guys. i am always amazed at how helpful the comments are here, compared to the other forums. I will definatly tone down the blood on the chest and fix the veins in the arms. in the meantime, here is the zbrush mesh.
just curious… but when was the last time you where in a fight ?? seeing as your an expert on where blood will lands ? just curious…
Well, to address your curiosity, how many fights does Digital_Vulture need to be in to be in to express that he “thinks the blood…is over the top”? None, actually. He didn’t express belief that he was an expert, just pointed out that something looked a little out of place. It isn’t even necessarily about perfect accuracy. Sometimes accurate things just don’t look right, or feel right, and sometimes other people’s eyes really help you find those things. Sometimes they can’t even say why it doesn’t look right, but something seems wrong. Growing as an artist is at least to some degree about that search for why? In this case maybe there are too many streaks, maybe they are too straight, too evenly spaced. Maybe they don’t meander the way liquid often does when running down surfaces even very smooth ones, like a window pane. Maybe they are all about the same length which just adds to an orderliness which doesn’t seem quite right. Observation and reference are some of an artists greatest tools. In other words, I doubt that he has to be an experienced MMA fighter before he can comment helpfully on the look of the blood.
Red Republik - nice sculpt, a little more tweaking and you have a piece to be proud of!
well i am just saying. and as i said i was just curious. plus i have been ar martial arts for 17 years of my life (full contact) and i was a bouncer for almost 5 in a rough club until i quit. just saying the way blood behaves is something you cant always predict is all i am saying. no need to get on your horse and get the upset army out 
small_orange_diamond most people would think it’s “over the top” until you actually experience it
Very good work!
the way you attached muscles in the neck to the skull in the back view creates a “hole” a bit too deep . If you soften it, it will be even more perfect!!
i don’t know if you understand what i say 
sorry for my bad english (french guys :rolleyes: )
Easy, Ryzzhan no worries about the horses and the army - they are WAY back home…asleep:) My point is that your first post implied the other guy had no business offering crit. I’m just letting him know, you know, and anyone else reading this thread that ZBrush central works best when there is the open flow of constructive criticism. They are entitled to post, just as you are. In fact, as you pointed out, you have real experience in the area this image is depicting, so any crits you have from that perspective are totally welcome. I invite you to give crit to the artist, that’s what we are looking for when we post here. Everyone is just trying to get better. Ok. Enough on that.
