Didnt see the nametags on the first pass, good concept. I love the horns. I think the face could use some glowing eyes or something, cant quite put my finger on it... 4 stars

martin.. bleh.. ermm ok.. now I feel like a spammer.. 0_o

steps for the ermm ChOW "death's horse"
funny enough I didn't think this would be anywhere near complete as I have now.. kinda thought I would be done with just a sketch.. but yeah...

well, I actually looked at some horse pics.. "research"... pbase.com had some nice refs.. I tried sketching out an idea.. but meh..
here are some I tried...
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_sketch.jpg

I just decided to go with this sketch.. I sort of had the idea I wanted a human under a horse skull embeded at the front.. you can see the faint initial super quick scribble in the back...

http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_3c.jpg

Then using my large collection of custom brushes.... I roughed out the background..how it was going to sit and where I guess.

http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_3b.jpg

I made this brush quite recently, for the horn.. I think the tree and shrub ones I downloaded from somewhere, can't remember where now tho...
so I drew out the horn..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_3a.jpg

Rendering.. in B&W.. nothing special..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_3.jpg

legs too short.. and some more refining..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_4.jpg

refining again.. now I notice that my horse is stuffed.. it was looking more like a deer/cow/dingo... time for some ref.. Oh and decided to add the name tags.. something about death made me realise I needed to make more reference to death..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_5.jpg

I asked few people for help on making this thing more horse.. emily, bunny, tom.. tex, michele.. john.. ermm yeah.. most said the leg was too short.. Emily was kind enough to pinpoint lot of areas, like slouching back.. and so on.. with that I sort of made it half horse... lowered the ground.. and refined more..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_6.jpg

After this it was as simple as putting a colour layer on top...
refined a little more
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_7.jpg

and with some adjustment stuff tom taught me. and some more little adjustments here and there..
http://www.minart.net/temp/death_horse_f.jpg

and done!

it actually took about 8 hours all up.. or something close to that number.. reasonably quick I think. :P

[Lman]
