some background

Name: Huruk Zagail

Species: Glaren-Felling

Dwells: The plains south of Moria and the gap of Rohan, has been seen elsewhere as it is known to travel.

History: Originally coming from the westlands across the sea these creatures came to live in mountainous areas. They were afraid of the elves and often made petty battles with them. The dwarves of Moria saw their warrior ability and recruited them to make the armour they would wear into battle. Some peaceful Glaren-Fellings refused to be taken captive and fled to other parts of Middle Earth

Well, it's not really easy to give any crits or suggestions for this entry yet, which is probably why no-one has responded.

To be brutally honest, your concept sketch is a bit weak - you might as well have not posted a concept, because it is impossible to tell anything from that picture :sad:

Your model so far is not much to comment on either, since it is only a small section so far. Perhaps you should do the rest of the head before posting another update ;)

Your model does look like you are making it way too high poly though - I suggest you cut down a little on the geometry ;)

Another thing - from what I can gather, your character is very humanlike. Your description doesn't really describe it's characteristics, so I think that perhaps you should do a more detailed concept sketch. Remember that the aim of this challenge is to produce something more unusal than a human - so feel free to go wild with the design!

Good luck for the rest of the challenge :)

yeh i know the concept is a bit dodgy but thats cos i made it in like 2 mins..........cos i went to post my thing and from reading the rules i thought you had to have one.....so yeh i'll try and draw up something better tonight ;) and i will make the body a bit different.....it'll be human-ish but not quite human, if you know what i mean

i thought i might have been doing waaay too many polygons.......i knew something looked too detailed on the wire.....i'll try and tone it down a bit.....

and the reason there wasn't much to comment on is because I'm new to all this (i haven't had 3ds max for very long...bout 3 weeks) i do have a bit more done of the head but i always forget to render it out so i can post it.

thanx for the guidance leigh.....will work more on this tonight, hopefully. love your elf too
