That is a really ellegant creature you made.
It brings me up the image of a tiger and with their imperial ellegance. I already imagin him walking with and with his tail sweaping. Or also a bison who have those really muscled neks and then sutch a small ass:p.
Come on give us a biiger image and some angles that would make it super:thumbsup make it 800x600
and you might render it without brazil cos at this stage and with normal light it doesn't impoves the image and I think the default render system does the lines better. and I don't know if you can make a larger image with less size?
I hope to see some big ones soon and great going
:thumbsup: :cool:

im gonna post some bigger pics tomorrow...and maybe a wireframe or something..

I actually thought about a bison when i sketched it...this one is meant to be much bigger tho, but i dont have anything in there to show the scale yet..

The first pic were great (maybe the head was a little bit small), but the rest of the body was great.

But when I look at the last 3 pic it looks really great. I like the head. It fits more to the rest of the body. It looks really strong so that he can pull something

keep on going the good work:thumbsup:

Wow..all these views and so few responses. Pretty pathetic I think..whats the point of having it on a forum then?

I like the overall shape for your beast. When I think of a beast of burden, I immediately think of oxen. Big necks..stout legs..muscular thigs...and bodies with GIRTH. I think you have captured that in the overall from very well..this looks like a very powerful creature.

My only crit for the basic shape would be to *maybe* make him not so long....maybe play with that a bit..might make him look more power house'ish...

Anyhow, the musculature so far is lookin good..keep us updated for sure! :)

Damn..missing out on another good one here..great stance and musculature..really seems fast and powerful. It's almost like the back legs are evolving out of being used at all..heh.

I may be the only one, but I kind of liked the 'flat head'..this one is really cool and gruesome/mean, but the other one seemed more built for ramming and gave an ornery stubborn vibe.

Just some thoughts..look forward to more of this guy.. :thumbsup:

A lil smoothed wireframe..
http://www.subwayz.net/upload/smoothwire.jpg
not super clean but maybe someone will appriciate(?) it anyway
just built the ribs..
i shortened the "waist" too
hyper: It was meant to be like an oxe...but that would be kind of boring..so i changed it..
about the small legs...yea uīre not the only one mentioned that..iīll probably try to make them more muscular too and/or just make them bigger..
Thanks for the crits...i dont get many...but its still helpful
