thank you

3 hours!!!..

wowsa…

But what were you doing for the other two?

Drinking Coffee!

3 hours only…that’s insane. You should show us your workflow. I am sure we will learn a lot from it. :smiley:

I agree with the others, great job :+1: :+1:

Hi,
I like the whale, both sculpting and color, but I’d suggest two things:

  1. make the eye more black to have a good white highlight in order to catch more attention
  2. The upper part of mouth seems sharper than bottom part
    For the head, I like texture and tattoo, but there are no eyelashes.
    Maybe the skull should be a little wide on the rear part.
    Good job, anyway.

Second picture of old men have best expression ever seen here. Great POV!
It won my January desktop award :+1:

good point about the whale

will give the guy eyelashes…and will look at his skull as well, but
I don’t want him to look too perfect in his proportions … people really do have wierd shaped heads…

Well, you’re right: it’s still a bit out of proportion, but I’m sure someone with that head exists! :wink:

Hi

so here are a couple of sketchs I did a while back…thinking of making this

Awesome.
I like your creatures, maybe the last has no much room for eyes, so I prefer the first three concepts, but they are awesome.
Good sculpting.

Love the sketches, only head I dislike is the bottom left.
Also I’m not so keen on the stumpy legs. His top makes him look like a agile dynamic creature. I think he’d be more suited raptor like legs… but that’ may take away from the uniqueness…

I know what you mean about the legs…I thought I would give it a go anyway…just to see

here is the progress so far
