SEE LAST POST FOR UPDATE
Hi all. Nothing going on today, so I started blending this:
A beast that will be for something. Not sure yet. Just the head and some details so far.
Any feedback is appreciated.
BgDM
Quite nice yes… Can’t say much as I don’t know what you are going to do.
Looks a bit like a horse though…pretteh horsy…
Looks nice, but too little detail in face + no eyes.
Thanks for the quick replies.
Fareton: I’m not sure what I am going to do with it yet either. Horsey? Could be some sort of a horse type creature. We’ll see.
Detritus: I have not done much on the actual face/head/ Just roughed in for now. As for the eyes, ummm…, yeah. I suck at eyes, so I plan on doing sort of eye blinds like you see on horses. Need to sketch somethiong out on them first though.
Again, thanks for the replies.
BgDM
maybe skip the eyes together. I think that it might actually look cool. Maybe it gets around by sense of smell or its mind or something instead of eyes… it definitely has potential though!
heh…
looks as big nose…what is it ?
Uhu!
Veeery nice, yes, some eyes (3 to 5) would be welcome, or just a single eye with 3 irises…
I like it, can’t wait to see more
Stefano
Oh…then I know about what it is going to be. I thought the head would still continue…to some horse kind of creature. Now I see…yes…no horsie… sniff
UPDATED!
Added the eyes and started on a skin texture. On to the arms and torso now.
Hopefully an update later today, or tomorrow.
BgDM
WOW! the skin looks amazing!
the eyes look weird though, sort of like olives… mmm now i’m hungry 
I still say skip the eyes completely and make the nose and nostrils bigger.
adding arms and torso, is this thing going to be two legged and two-armed (is “two-armed” a real word?) or for legged? the muzzle looked like this is the kind of beast you’d hitch up to a plow or soemthing.
Update!
Started on torso and arms. The top set of arms will be larger than the lower set, thus making them the power arms. The smaller set will be for the rudimentary things, like handling objetcs, etc.
Tell me what you think so far. My organic skills are not the best. So I will tweek this later to get more defined muscle areas after I block the body in.
BgDM
Sorry man, forgot to reply to your post. 
Thanks for the compliment on the skin. I still need to to tweek that as well. As far as the arms go, the update answers your question. 
I am thinking of making this along the lines of the huge beast that was attached to the gate linkage in Mordor. If you haven’t yet seen The Two Towers, then I can’t really explain that to you.
the best of this model is the skin texture all though it needs some tweak mapping,
especially on the arms, how did you map it ?
I like the color of it and the slight bump,
maybe some more at the end…but not much more…
I think I would suggest Cube mapping, if not, UV map =P - tougher though
good work, keep it up !
Yeah i’ve seen Two Towers and know exactly which beasts your talking about I don’t remember them being so hunchbacked though. It looked more like they were bending a straight body rather than being permanently bent. This uy has a a bit of a hunchbacked look. the early posts of the head looks like the body would have the spine running horizontally (probably why it remined some of horses), but now it’s stuck on a vertial body. The head doesn’t look quite attacjed to the body, but you probably know that already
you already know what I tink about the eyes
keep going I’m sure this will be great when it’s done!
Gr8RedShark: Yeah, I am sort of looselt basing this off of those characters in T2T. I will attatch the head and stuff later and then do the tweeking of the mesh.
ztonzy: yeah, I will fix the texture problems later as well. Just place holders fo now.
Thanks for the comments. Anyone else have something to say?
BgDM
Looks kinda orcish… Like those big things at “the Gate” in TTT… (spoiler free!)
hehe, nice model, just make sure you finish it this time 
hehe, yeah, yeah. I know. I will. It will take some time for this one, (transitioning to new job), but I will.
BgDM
Looks promising. I have to agree with what’s been said about the spine seeming to be bent in a right angle. Try hunching the shoulders (the upper set ;)) a bit forward, that might fix it.
Great texture.

Are you talking about the trolls from LOTR?
