Hi there....! After 7 hours of intense tweaking in maya, I came up with this... With no breaks for coffee and food I'm pretty damn tired and my lack of inspiration/concentration is beginning to show... Please give me some advice on how to improve it before I start on the body. ANY tips would be greatful! DON*t HOLD BACK !!! thanks...
Well I think that is a great start but I am not sure what you are going for. Without inspiration its hard to say... so how about advice on how to find some?
Find some pictures of dragons, drawings, whatever great art you can find. Just do a search in goolge for something like "dragon pic" or something. Myabe even "chinese dragon pic" - I seem to recall seeing something similar art in the past.
That might get you more inspired, at least in a certain direction. It also might be a good challenge to match the art.
thanks... I will do that... to be honest I'm not sure if I will try to mimic "the real thing" from Star Wars or alter him to be somewhat different.. What do you think? It sure would be nice to come up with something different! A friend of mine is working as a conceptual artist for an advertising studio. He is ready to redesign the character for me if I want... I will look after some other designs as you suggested me to... thanks...
I think you get the idea what 's your character will look like. However, You need to study the basic look of muscles. Read... well. i shouldn't say read. But search some pictures like horses and other simular creatures. See how their muscles deform. Specially the neck part.
However, your character is pretty sweet. thx for sharing
